I’m not sure if you’ve ever read the ingredients to enchilada sauce at the grocery store, but it is not pretty.
Do not buy it! It is so easy to make!
Here it is…
Ingredients:
- 3 T oil (I use olive oil)
- 3 T cornstarch or flour
- 1/8-1/4 cup Chili Powder (to taste… the more you use, the spicier your sauce)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
- 1/2 t salt
- 1 t cumin
- 1 t oregano
Place oil with cornstarch in a saucepan over medium heat.
Use a whisk or fork and stir the oil and cornstarch/flour together. Cook for 1 minute.
When it looks like the picture above with little bubbles, add in the chili powder and cook for another minute.
Gradually stir in the broth mixing it well with a whisk to get rid of any clumps. Stir in the rest of your ingredients and simmer on low until thickened. You will stir it every so often to make sure all clumps are gone and it is not sticking to bottom of pan.
Enjoy!

Oh my gosh I buy that stuff ALL. THE. TIME. I am scared now to read the label LOL This is incredible – I NEVER would have thought oregano would go in it. I thought that was only for Italian faire! HA!

Sounds awesome! I will give your recipe a try, I usually make mine with more tomato sauce so I can’t wait to try with broth!

Love homemade enchilada sauce! I like mine spicy so I typically add a little cayenne pepper.

Pinned! I might substitute vegetable broth. Do you think it would still work the same.

Definitely. In fact, the last time I made it, I only had one cup of broth, so I just used one cup broth and one cup of water and it was still great.
