Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in flour and chili powder, reduce heat to medium, and cook until lightly brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning flour. Gradually stir in tomato sauce, water, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt into the flour and chili powder until smooth, and continue cooking over medium heat approximately 10 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: Ripened tomatoes have a sweeter and more concentrated flavor, resulting in a richer and tastier enchilada sauce.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. You can roast tomatoes in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Use a variety of chiles: Different chiles have different flavor profiles, so using a variety can create a more complex and flavorful sauce. Some popular chiles for enchilada sauce include ancho, guajillo, and chipotle.
  • Toast the spices: Toasting spices before using them enhances their flavor. You can toast spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of your enchilada sauce. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Simmer the sauce: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder.

Conclusion:

Enchilada sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes, from enchiladas to tacos to burritos.
