Ingredients | Chicken Enchilada Recipes With Red Sauce¼ cup vegetable oil2 tablespoons self-rising flour2 tablespoons medium-spice Indian chili powder1 ½ cups water1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce1 teaspoon dried oregano¾ teaspoon ground cumin¾ teaspoon garlic powder¾ teaspoon onion saltsalt to tasteDirectionsHeat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir flour and chili powder into hot oil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the flour is lightly brown in color, 3 to 5 minutes.Gradually stream water and tomato sauce into the flour while stirring until the flour is completely incorporated into a smooth mixture. Stir oregano, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt into the liquid. Continue cooking until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes; season with salt.Chili powder has many different levels of spiciness. I had to substitute because i live in India, and many products are not available here. I used Indian chili powder medium spice and 1/4 cup was too spicy for us, very similar to Old El Paso(R) hot enchilada sauce. So I decreased to half the amount. It is better to start off with too little spice and add more later!Info | Chicken Enchilada Recipes With Red Sauceprep:
