Enchilada Sauce


Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp flour (gluten-free flour blends work!)
1 tbsp ground chili powder (scale back if you’re sensitive to spice)
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp salt, to taste
Pinch of cinnamon (optional but recommended)
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Directions:
Sauce comes together quickly once you get started, so measure dry ingredients (flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt and optional cinnamon) into small bowl and place near stove. Place tomato paste and broth near stove as well.
In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, warm oil until it’s it’s hot enough that a light sprinkle of flour/spice mixture sizzles on contact. This might take a couple of minutes, be patient and don’t step away from stove!
Once ready, add dry mixture. While whisking constantly, cook until fragrant and slightly deepened in color, ~ 1 minute. Whisk tomato paste into mixture, then slowly pour in broth while whisking constantly to remove any lumps.
Raise heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, whisking often, for 5 to 7 minutes, until sauce has thickened and a spoon encounters some resistance as you stir. (sauce will thicken more as it cools.)
Remove from heat, then whisk in vinegar and season to taste with a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. . Go forth and make enchiladas!
