Everyone needs an Easy Enchilada Sauce recipe at the ready. This is quick to mix up and infinitely more tasty than the store bought version. You most likely have the ingredients in your pantry right now. Because it comes together so fast, make sure to measure the ingredients so that you are ready to go.

Heat your pan and make the roux. Let it slightly brown.

You want to cook the flour a bit which will thicken the enchilada sauce.

Next, add the spices and combine until fragrant.

It will smell amazing.

You’re almost done. Just add the tomato paste and combine, and then the vegetable bouillon.

Cook for a few minutes until thickened.

      Aloha Coffee and Woodsmoke, Thanks for stopping by. Absolutely, once you make something homemade, it is difficult to use the packaged version. I think you’ll love it. Please let me know.
