Homemade Enchilada Sauce

This sauce is great for enchiladas, but it’s also terrific as a glaze for chicken, pork, or beef. It’s very mild; even my kids love it in recipes.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 T chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp salt, depending on how salty your chicken broth is. Start with less and add more if you need it.
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 1 (8oz) can of tomato sauce
  • 2 cups of chicken broth. I use Better than Bouillon Organic Chicken base.
  • 1 dash of apple cider vinegar

Instructions

In a saucepan, heat your oil over medium high. As the oil heats, mix the flour and seasonings in a small bowl. Have your chicken broth measured out and ready to go as well. Add the flour mixture into the hot oil and whisk it until the flour is incorporated, then add the tomato sauce. Whisking, add in the chicken broth slowly until you have a smooth sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes as you whisk to develop the flavors, then add the dash of apple cider vinegar. Taste your sauce for seasoning at this point. This recipe makes a little more than 3 cups of sauce and can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

About Me

Hello friend, my name is Katie and pizza is my favorite food. Yes, I’m in my thirties and yes, I have three daughters that I’m raising and homeschooling and nagging, but I think you’d be most interested to know that I would eat pizza for every meal of every day and never complain. There was a brief time (ages 8-11) when I thought that mashed potatoes was my favorite food, but I’ve since come around. That being said, I don’t only talk about pizza. Here you will find slices of homeschooling life, home decor, cooking, musings, and an occasional funny meme. In fact, I think you will find a shocking lack of pizza content as a whole, but now you know the truth: Pizza is always close to mind.
