Notes
For the Enchilada Sauce
3 Tablespoons oil
3 Tablespoons gum-free gluten-free rice flour blend, (I used my blend )
¼ cup red chile powder (or chili powder)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt, to taste
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 ½ cups water
For the Enchilada Sauce
In a saucepan mix together all the spices, the flour, and the oil. Heat while whisking until fragrant about 3-5 minutes (you want the floury taste to cook out also.)
While whisking add the chicken broth and water and whisk until smooth. Heat until the sauce comes to a boil, and then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce is thickened.
