Description

This homemade enchilada sauce is a flavorful and versatile addition to enchiladas, tacos, soups, and more. Quick and easy to make, it beats the canned version any day!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, or distilled white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Seasonings:
    In a small bowl, combine chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cinnamon, and flour. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Flour Mixture:
    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour mixture and whisk until it reaches the consistency of wet sand, about 1 minute.
  3. Make the Sauce:
    Stir in tomato paste and honey, cooking for another minute. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring continuously.
  4. Simmer:
    Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes, or until your desired thickness is achieved.
  5. Finish:
    Remove from heat, and stir in apple cider vinegar. The sauce will continue to thicken as it sits.
