Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, bouillon cube and some salt and pepper and cook until the spices darken and their flavors are released, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, stir to combine and cook it for another minute. Add the stock and stir to combine, then allow the liquid to thicken. Add the tomato sauce and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce is nice and thick and reduced by about a third, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then use an immersion blender to completely puree the sauce until smooth. (Alternatively, you can transfer it to a blender to puree it; just make sure the sauce is cooled, as blending hot liquids is dangerous!)
- The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week and can also be frozen! Just reheat the sauce in a saucepan or skillet for whatever recipe calls for it.

Tips for Canning Enchilada Sauce
- Choose the right tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are the best choice for canning enchilada sauce because they have a low moisture content and a meaty texture.
- Roast the tomatoes before canning. Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them easier to peel.
- Use a variety of chiles. Different chiles will give your enchilada sauce a different flavor profile. For a mild sauce, use Anaheim or Poblano peppers. For a medium-heat sauce, use Serrano or Jalapeno peppers. For a hot sauce, use Habanero or Cayenne peppers.
- Add your favorite seasonings. Common seasonings for enchilada sauce include garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, and chili powder.
- Can the sauce in jars or bottles. Jars are the traditional way to can enchilada sauce, but you can also use bottles. Make sure to use jars or bottles that are specifically designed for canning.
- Process the sauce in a boiling water bath. Processing the sauce in a boiling water bath will kill any bacteria and prevent spoilage.
- Store the sauce in a cool, dark place. Canned enchilada sauce can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
