This enchilada sauce tastes pretty good, but is quite thick. Several times I tried to thin this tomato paste-based sauce by adding more chicken stock, but each time it quickly thickened back up. Then during baking, the sauce on my enchiladas dried up a lot more than I would have liked. So while this is a quick and easy recipe, it's one I probably won't make again.

We enjoyed this enchilada sauce that I tripled to use with Recipe #346072 #346072. The sauce has some zip to it and is very versatile so you could make it to suit your own personal taste. I whisked the flour and chili powder into the hot oil and didnt use all the salt. Thank you for sharing this recipe with us. Made and reviewed for Pick A Chef 2009.
