Homemade Enchilada Sauce
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
Instructions
1
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large skillet over a moderately high heat setting. Introduce the chili powder and flour into the oil, then gradually decrease the heat to a medium level. Allow the mixture to cook until it emits a distinctive aroma and has darkened in hue, stirring constantly to ensure the flour doesn't undergo any unwanted browning, approximately 1 minute.
2
Subsequently, introduce a moderate amount of water into the skillet, followed by the tomato sauce, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt. Gradually blend these ingredients together until they form a uniform consistency. Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat for around 10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.

Finally, add a pinch of salt to the mixture and serve.
