Homemade Enchilada Sauce

Red Enchilada Sauce

3 tbsp olive oil

3 tbsp flour

1 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp garlic

1/4 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 cups chicken broth

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Black pepper to taste

1. Mix your spices and flour together in a small bowl. Make sure you have the tomato paste, chicken broth, and vinegar ready as well.
2. In a medium size pot, heat the oil. You'll know it's ready if it sizzles when you sprinkle a tiny bit of the spice mixture.
3. When the oil is hot, pour in the spice mixture, whisking constantly until it darkens just a bit (about 1 minute). 
4. Whisk in tomato paste, then slowly add the chicken broth.
5. Raise the heat to medium high and bring mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
6. Remove from heat, pour in vinegar and add pepper as preferred.
