Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Enchilada Sauce.
Step 1
Start by warming up some vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, sprinkle in the chili powder and self-rising flour.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium and keep stirring constantly; you’ll want to cook this mixture until it becomes fragrant and takes on a lovely deep color, which should take about a minute.
Step 4
Next, gradually pour in the water while adding the tomato sauce, ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt.
Step 5
Stir everything together until the mixture is nice and smooth.
Step 6
Now, let it simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly—this should take around 10 minutes.
Step 7
Finally, taste your creation and season with salt as needed.
Step 8
There you have it—your very own homemade enchilada sauce, ready to elevate your favorite dishes! Enjoy the rich flavors and the satisfaction of making it from scratch!.
