2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, if you love heat)

1
Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, flour, cumin, cayenne, and chile powder and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn the heat down if the pot is making aggressive noises.

Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Put the meat, beans (or vegetables), and rice (or tortillas) in a bowl. Add the sauce and cilantro and stir until everything is well combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

Grease a 9x13 casserole lightly with olive oil and pour in the saucy mixture. Top with the remaining cheese and bake until bubbly, 25-30 minutes.
