- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1 1/2 cups broth chicken, vegetable or water
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in flour and whisk together for 1 minute. Add spices and salt and whisk for 30 seconds.
Slowly add broth, whisking constantly to break down lumps of flour. Stir in tomato sauce, reduce heat, and simmer for 5-8 minutes, until thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt.
This recipe makes about 2 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce.
