Ingredients

ENCHILADA SAUCE

1/2 cup (120g) tomato sauce
1 cup (240g) water
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2-1 teaspoon salt, this will vary depending on your tomato sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons (20g) brown rice flour
1 tablespoon (20g) pure maple syrup

TO MAKE ENCHILADAS

You can also use this sauce for homemade enchiladas. It's what I use, but I would double the sauce ingredients, just to ensure you have plenty for a large batch.

Instructions

Add all of the enchilada sauce ingredients to a small pot and whisk until well mixed. Turn to medium-high heat and once boiling, whisk it continuously for 3-5 minutes until it has thickened some. Remove from heat let it cool.
