When it comes time to make a quick healthy meal, I almost always turn to enchiladas. Now even more so, since I discovered this homemade enchilada sauce recipe. You know homemade always tastes better than store bought.

This is a very easy to make sauce, and most of the spices that you need are already in your pantry. It takes at the most 5 minutes of your time to prep and another 15 minutes to make. There is no need to saute or strain with this recipe.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• vegetable or olive oil
• all purpose flour
• can crushed tomatoes or fresh tomatoes
• chili powder
• dried oregano
• cumin
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• brown sugar
• kosher salt
• fresh ground pepper
• medium saucepan
• whisk
• air tight container

The first step is to heat up your oil and mix in the flour so the two ingredients are well mixed. This should take at the most 60 seconds. After that you can then just stir in all the other ingredients, starting with the tomatoes and then followed by the dry ingredients.

Season with the salt and pepper, before bringing everything to the boil. Lower the heat and let simmer for at least 10 minutes, at the most 15 minutes. Your sauce is ready when it has thickened a little bit, remove from the stove let it cool and you can store it in your fridge in an air tight container for up to 14 days.
