This easy enchilada sauce recipe does not take long at all to make and tastes WAY better than the store bought versions!
You’re going to basically sauté flour and dry spices until fragrant, add tomato paste and broth, and simmer. See the recipe below for all the details!
Note: This recipe makes a double batch of sauce since I usually make a pan of enchiladas to freeze. You can easily cut it in half if needed.
Homemade Enchilada Sauce
- 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp ground chili powder
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp vinegar
