Ingredients
total Cost: $0.80Serves: 2 cupsIngredients2 Tbsp vegetable oil $0.102 Tbsp all-purpose flour $0.022 Tbsp chili powder $0.302 cups water $0.003 oz. tomato paste $0.27½ tsp cumin $0.03½ tsp garlic powder $0.03¼ tsp cayenne pepper $0.02¾ tsp salt $0.03
Directions
Add the vegetable oil, flour, and chili powder to a medium pot. Turn the heat on to medium and whisk the ingredients together. Continue to whisk as the mixture begins to bubble. Whisk and cook the mixture for one minute once it begins bubbling.
After one minute, whisk in the water, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Allow the sauce to come up to a simmer. Once it reaches a simmer it will begin to thicken slightly.
Starting with a ½ teaspoon, add salt to taste. I used about ¾ teaspoon total. The sauce is now ready to use!
Notes
Enchilada sauce can be poured over enchiladas, burritos, stuffed poblanos, or used in casseroles for extra flavor.
