Ingredients

    total Cost: $0.80
    Serves: 2 cups
    Ingredients
    2 Tbsp vegetable oil $0.10
    2 Tbsp all-purpose flour $0.02
    2 Tbsp chili powder $0.30
    2 cups water $0.00
    3 oz. tomato paste $0.27
    ½ tsp cumin $0.03
    ½ tsp garlic powder $0.03
    ¼ tsp cayenne pepper $0.02
    ¾ 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.
