Stir in flour and chili powder, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until flour is light brown in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually stream water and tomato sauce into the skillet while whisking flour mixture until completely incorporated and smooth. Stir in oregano, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt; cook until sauce has thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt. Tips Chili powder is available in many different spice levels so you may need to experiment. I live in India and had to substitute because many products are not available here. I used 1/4 cup of medium-spicy Indian chili powder and it was too spicy for us, almost like Old El Paso hot enchilada sauce. So, I ended up using 2 tablespoons. It's better to start off with less and add more later if needed.
