Julie’s TipsTips
To thin the sauce, simply add a little more broth or even water if necessary.
For an extra layer of spice, add extra chili powder and even a dash of hot sauce.
Substitutions
Vegetable Broth – substitute water or stock
Gluten Free – Use gluten free flour.
To store
Refrigerate – When properly stored, homemade enchilada sauce will last 5-7 days in the fridge. It can thicken when it’s refrigerated so just thin it out with a little extra vegetable broth or water as needed.
Freeze – Freeze enchilada sauce for up to three months in a glass container or a plastic bag. This rich sauce will discolor your plastic containers, so keep that in mind! To defrost, simply leave in the refrigerator for 24 hours before using.

I made this enchilada sauce recipe today and it was easy to make and turned out to be perfectly delicious. The only alteration I made was to halve the amount of chili powder, but I added the tomato sauce and the cinnamon. I have shared it with my daughter who also loves cheese enchiladas. Thanks for sharing!
