Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons flour (whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and gluten-free flour blends all work!)
1 tablespoon ground chili powder (scale back if you're sensitive to spice or using particularly spicy chili powder)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt, to taste
Pinch of cinnamon (optional but recommended)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • This sauce comes together quickly once you get started, so measure the dry ingredients (the flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt and optional cinnamon) into a small bowl and place it near the stove. Place the tomato paste and broth near the stove as well.
  • In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, warm the oil until it's hot enough that a light sprinkle of the flour/spice mixture sizzles on contact. This might take a couple of minutes, so be patient and don't step away from the stove!
  • Once it's ready, pour in the flour and spice mixture. While whisking constantly, cook until fragrant and slightly deepened in color, about 1 minute. Whisk the tomato paste into the mixture, then slowly pour in the broth while whisking constantly to remove any lumps.
  • Raise heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, whisking often, for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the sauce has thickened a bit and a spoon encounters some resistance as you stir it. (The sauce will thicken some more as it cools.)
  • Remove from heat, then whisk in the vinegar and season to taste with a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Add more salt, if necessary (I usually add another pinch or two). Go forth and make enchiladas!

1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup chili powder
2 cups chicken stock
10 ounces tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Riper tomatoes have a sweeter flavor and are less acidic, resulting in a more flavorful enchilada sauce.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and adds a smoky depth to the sauce.
  • Use a variety of chiles: Different chiles provide different levels of heat and flavor. Experiment with different combinations to find your perfect balance.
  • Don't be afraid to add spices: Spices like cumin, oregano, and chili powder add depth and complexity to the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. If it's too spicy, add a little sugar. If it's too tart, add a little baking soda.
