Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp chili powder adjust down for a milder sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin ground
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano dried

  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Notes

  • Looking for a mild enchilada sauce? If you don't want your sauce to be spicy you can reduce the amount of chili powder or omit it altogether.
  • If you'd like more heat then try adding in a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • You can also add in a splash of heavy cream after the stock to make a creamy version of this sauce.
  • Make sure to cook the roux mixture for a few minutes to remove the raw flour taste but don't let it brown.
  • Use a whisk while you add the tomato sauce and stock to ensure there are no lumps in the sauce.
  • The cinnamon adds a subtle sweetness and warmth to the sauce but don't worry it's not a sweet tasting sauce.
  • The vinegar really enhances all the flavors so try not to skip it!
  • Nutritional information is for 3 cups of sauce.
