Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir flour and chili powder into hot oil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the flour is lightly brown in color, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Gradually stream water and tomato sauce into the flour while stirring until the flour is completely incorporated into a smooth mixture. Stir oregano, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt into the liquid. Continue cooking until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes; season with salt.
Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- Chili powder has many different levels of spiciness. I had to substitute because i live in India, and many products are not available here. I used Indian chili powder medium spice and 1/4 cup was too spicy for us, very similar to Old El Paso® hot enchilada sauce. So I decreased to half the amount. It is better to start off with too little spice and add more later!

This is nice, but I tried one that used chicken broth instead of water this time and it was an improvement. Happy cooking!!!

This is fantastic enchilada sauce! Nice job and thanks for posting. I added a photo. My sauce is going into the Chile Relleno Casserole I'm making.

I had to use tomato paste and two types of Mexican chili powder, because that was what I had on hand. Better sauce than you can get at a Mexican restaurant. LOVED IT!

I've made this twice and I love it. I will be sticking with this recipe. I make it with chicken broth instead of water, but as prescribed otherwise.

This was a help, as I live in Brazil and can’t buy canned sauce, but it was a little flat and lacking in something...not quite sure what.

I’ve learned it’s best to mix the chili powder and flour before you add to oil. Great recipe!
