Enchilada Sauce

Enchilada Sauce


MAKES: serving

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp whole wheat flour

  • 1 Tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano

  • Sea salt & pepper, to taste

  • Pinch cinnamon

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil

  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar


Directions

  1. Measure dry ingredients (flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt and cinnamon) and set near stove with tomato paste and broth.

  2. Heat oil in a medium sized pot over medium heat until a light sprinkle of dry mix sizzles on contact. Stay near stove, this might take a couple of minutes.

  3. Add dry ingredients. Whisk constantly until fragrant and slightly deepened in color, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste, then slowly pour in broth while whisking constantly to remove lumps.

  4. Increase heat slightly and bring mixture to a simmer, then reduce to maintain a gentle simmer. Whisk often until sauce has thickened, 5-7 minutes. Sauce will thicken more as it cools.

  5. Remove from heat. Whisk in vinegar. Season with pepper, to taste.
