Description

This homemade enchilada sauce takes about 10 minutes to cook, but it tastes authentic and is full of Mexican flavor. Use it on enchiladas or burritos.

Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup New Mexico or California chili powder
2 tablespoons self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups water
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
salt to taste

Directions

1 Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in chili powder and flour, reduce heat to medium, and cook until fragrant and deepened in color, stirring constantly to prevent the flour from burning, about 1 minute.
2 Gradually stir in water, tomato sauce, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt until smooth. Continue cooking over medium heat until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Season with salt.
3 Enjoy!
