The Last Red Enchilada Sauce You'll Need image

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!!

Time 20m

Yield 4 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • The amounts on the ingredients are very flexible.
  • For instance, if I am feeding my kids who do not like"spicy", I will halve the chili powder and double the tomato sauce.
  • Experiment to suit your taste, but don't leave out the cocoa.
