Today is Tuesday so it's time for Tasty Tuesday! Today I'm going to share with you a Mexican Enchilada Sauce. This is a sauce that I found years ago once I realized that I could make it a whole lot cheaper than buying cans of it at the store.
Mexican Enchilada Sauce
Ingredients
3 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon oregano
3 cups water
1 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
Directions
- Combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl.
- Stirring constantly, slowly add enough of the water to make a thin paste.
- Pour into pan and add rest of water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
- Stir in tomato sauce.
- Use in your favorite enchilada recipe.
ENJOY!

I make my enchiladas using the McCormick packets (savory taste) that you add sauce and water to not the one in the can which I think tends to be on the sweet side. Where does this one fall?
I would say that this one is on the savory side which I like as well. The cocoa adds a depth to it which is just AMAZING! Try it.
This is great...I always end up buying canned enchilada sauce and I want to start making more from scratch and in a more natural state...I bet I can use your recipe and use homemade tomato sauce! Thanks for sharing and for hosting.
Happy Tuesday.
Wow, this is great. I hate buying the canned stuff. And a bonus, I was just wondering how to use up a surplus of cocoa.
