Easy Homemade Enchilada Sauce

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together CHILI POWDER, OREGANO, DRIED ONION, CUMIN, and GARLIC POWDER; set aside.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk ARROWROOT (or cornstarch), VEGETABLE STOCK, TOMATO PASTE, (optional) BROWN SUGAR, SALT and PEPPER together; set aside.

Step 3

Heat OIL in a 3-quart sauce pot over medium heat; add seasonings and stir constantly until toasted and fragrant (about 1 min).

Step 4

Pour in the liquids and whisk to combine; increase heat to medium-high long enough to bring sauce just to a boil.

Step 5

Reduce heat to LOW and simmer until thickened, stirring as needed.
