Making our own enchilada sauce is a regular at the house since I always forget to buy the canned variety at the store. The homemade kind is so much better and we always have the ingredients on hand.
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoon tomato chicken boullion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 6 oz tomato paste
Heat oil over medium heat in saucepan. Add flour and chili powder and whisk together; cooking 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and boil 10 minutes whisking occasionally. Remove from heat and use in your enchilada recipes.

Hi there. I found your blog through Friday Follow. If you would be interested in following my blog, I would gladly return the favor.
I'm going to have to try this for sure! I have never even thought about making my own sauce. Sounds easy enough!
One night I ran out and didn't want to put the kids in the car so I tried a version like this! It was great and perfect along with so much cheaper!
Good to know....I always forget to get it when I need it and homemade is almost always better :)

I've never made enchilada sauce, but I have a hard time finding bottled sauce I really like, so thanks for the recipe! I will try it next time. Although, I don't eat vegetable oil, so I may have to sub olive. You think that would work out?
Hi VanderbiltWife, I'm sure it would be good. I'm not really fond of the fruity flavored olive oil in foods -- I like to dip bread into it :) -- you could probably use a Light Virgin Olive Oil and it would be okay. Let me know if you try it.
Oh, love this recipe!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I'll have to use this for my next enchiladas!
