Enchilada Sauce

I always thought I didn't like red enchilada sauce, turns out I don't like canned enchilada sauce. I found a recipe on about.com.


Quick and Easy Mexican Enchilada Sauce

Ingredients:

2 tbsp vegetable oil

2 tbsp flour

2 tbsp chili powder

1/2 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste

2 cups water

1 8 ounce can tomato paste

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

Preparation:

Heat the oil, flour and chili powder together in a large pot. Allow to cook for a minute or two.

Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a slow simmer. Stir well to combine and dissolve tomato paste in water. Allow to cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more spices as desired. 

My notes:

I didn't change this at all, it was great as is! Also made the house smell warm and spicey.
