This enchilada sauce is a rich and flavorful addition to your Mexican-inspired dishes, perfect for enhancing your enchiladas, tacos, or burritos.
In a saucepan, combine the tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mixing the dry spices with the tomato paste first ensures even distribution of flavors.
Gradually add the hot water to the saucepan, whisking continuously to create a smooth sauce.
Adding the water slowly prevents lumps from forming in the sauce.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Simmering helps the flavors meld together and enhances the sauce's richness.
Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before using it in your recipes.
Allowing the sauce to cool slightly makes it easier to handle and enhances its flavor.
Use the sauce immediately in your favorite dishes, or store it for later use.
This sauce can be refrigerated or frozen for future use, making meal prep easier.
