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!

ENCHILADA SAUCE MIX
This recipe was found in Gifts from the Southwest Kitchen. The printed recipes say to put this in a 8 oz jar; however, I found that was way to large. I used a 4 oz jelly jar and it worked very well. This makes a wonderful addition to a gift basket with a bag of masa harina and a tortilla press.

Steps:
- To make the mix: Starting and ending with the red chili powder, alternate layers of ingredients in the jar using 1 tablespoon of red chili powder in between the other ingredients.
- Be sure to gently tap down each layer with a tamper tool.
- To make the sauce: Combine 1/4 olive oil and 1/2 cup flour in a 2 quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to form a paste or roux.
- Cook until the mixture begins to brown; add seasoning mix and stir to combine.
- Slowly whisk in 4 cups of water, incorporating to make a smooth, gravy like consistency.
- Stir in the 1/4 cup cider vinegar and bring to a gently simmer, stirring continuously.
- Cook for 10 minutes.
- Once the sauce is made if 5 cups is to much, it freezes quite well in 1 or 2 cup containers.

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.

DRY ENCHILADA SAUCE MIX SUBSTITUTE
I came across a recipe recently that called for dry enchilada mix but I couldn't find it at the store. I searched around a bit and eventually came up with this recipe to use in its place. One recipe is the equivalent of a 1.5 oz package.

Tips:
- Customize your sauce: Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. Add more chili powder for a spicier sauce, or add a touch of cumin or oregano for a more complex flavor.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your sauce the best flavor. If possible, use fresh tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes will concentrate their flavor and give your sauce a smoky depth of flavor. To roast the tomatoes, simply place them on a baking sheet and roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are slightly charred.
- Use a blender or food processor: A blender or food processor will help you to create a smooth and creamy sauce. If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can use a potato masher to mash the ingredients together.
- Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce will help to develop the flavors and thicken it. Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for a thicker sauce.
- Serve the sauce immediately: Enchilada sauce is best served immediately, while it is still hot and flavorful. You can also store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Enchilada sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add a touch of Mexican flavor to your next meal. Whether you are making enchiladas, tacos, or burritos, enchilada sauce is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make sauce, give enchilada sauce a try.
