This enchilada sauce is rich, flavorful, and perfect for enhancing your favorite Mexican dishes.
Heat the tomato sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
Add the chili powder, cocoa powder, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, and Tabasco sauce to the saucepan and stir well.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices and enhance the flavor.
In a small bowl, whisk the warm water and flour together until smooth.
Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture for a smooth sauce.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the saucepan while stirring continuously.
Add the mixture slowly to avoid clumping and achieve a consistent texture.
Simmer the sauce for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Keep the heat low to prevent burning and allow the flavors to meld.
Let the sauce cool slightly before using it as desired.
Cooling allows the sauce to thicken further and makes it easier to handle.
