Enchilada Sauce......not from the can!

I love making enchiladas. This fall I wanted to make them but did not have any canned sauce. I thought to myself that it should not be that hard to make and I was right. Very easy, very quick, very few ingredients and very good. So stop buying canned sauce and try this simple recipe. It makes a good amount so I usually use half and then freeze the rest for next time I crave mexican food!

Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons of chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons of flour
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 3 cups of water
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
Directions
  1. Combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Stirring constantly slowly add water.
  3. Pour into a saucepan.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in tomato sauce.
  6. Use in your favorite enchilada recipe!
