The Last Red Enchilada Sauce You'll Need

By Beefman-2

This is the tastiest red enchilada sauce I have ever had! I could literally just eat it with a spoon. The secret is cocoa powder, do not miss that step! I found it on the Texas Monthly cooking forum. A lot of times I double the recipe since its so good. Serve it over enchiladas, burritos, or grab a straw! Its scrumptious!!

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons chili powder
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 3 cups water
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Preparation

Step 1

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.
