Mexico City Enchilada Sauce PRINT

Mexico City Enchilada Sauce

Ingredients

5 tablespoons chili powder
5 tablespoons flour
1⅔ teaspoons cocoa powder
teaspoon garlic salt
1⅔ teaspoons oregano
5 cups water
1 (13⅓ ounce) can tomato sauce

Directions

Directions: 1 Combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl. 2 Stirring constantly, slowly add enough of the water to make a thin paste. 3 Pour into pan and add rest of water. 4 Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. 5 Stir in tomato sauce. 6 Use in your favorite enchilada recipe. 7 The amounts on the ingredients are very flexible. 8 For instance, if I am feeding my kids who do not like“spicy”, I will halve the chili powder and double the tomato sauce. 9 Experiment to suit your taste, but don’t leave out the cocoa. 10 For a quick meal, we will soften a corn tortilla in a bit of hot oil, drag it through the sauce, and lay it flat on a plate. 11 cover it with grated cheddar cheese, sprinkle with chopped onions and sliced black olives. 12 Then cover with another softened sauced tortilla and melt the cheese in the microwave for 1 minute on high.
