Homemade Easy Enchilada Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (ground or leaf)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

This recipe came about when I was making enchiladas and had ‘oops!’ forgotten to buy the enchilada sauce. I was too lazy to take the 30-40 minutes to go to the store and back, so I started scouring the internet for an easy recipe. Some of the recipes just didn’t look good, others called for chicken broth, and there were a few that looked good, but I didn’t have all the ingredients.

So, after a couple minutes going back and forth between many different recipes, I made up my own, with parts from several recipes. The results were fantastic. And, best yet? It’s vegan! (that’s for you Bobbie!)

So, the next time you want to make enchiladas, make your own sauce! You will be happy with the results. Enjoy!
