Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoonswhole wheat pastry flour
  • 8 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 (15 ounce) can clean tomato sauce
  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

  1. Put oil, flour and chili powder in a medium to large stock pot and warm. You should have a nice paste-like substance when everything is mixed. Cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute.

  2. Add tomato sauce and water to the pot and stir.

  3. Add in the cumin, garlic powder and onion powder and stir constantly for about 5 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly.

  4. Set aside.

  5. NOTE: The sauce will thicken just slightly when baking. If you want a runnier sauce, add more water before pouring over the enchiladas.
