Easy Enchilada Sauce

It's Wednesday and we are halfway through the week! Why not celebrate by making something delicious and easy for tonight's dinner. Usually on Wednesdays I have some kind of meat or beans left over. You can take shredded/ground turkey, chicken, refried beans & leftover veggies, whatever you have on hand and roll them into flour or corn tortillas. Put this delicious sauce over the top, sprinkle with cheese and other toppings if you have them (I put green onions and olives on mine), and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. It will be nice and bubbly. My enchiladas, regardless of what I fill them with, never make it to the next day.

What you need:
1/4C Vegetable Oil
2T flour
1/4C chili powder
1 8oz. can tomato sauce
1 1/2C water
1/4t ground cumin
1/4t garlic powder
dash of salt (I use garlic salt)

What you do:
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in flour & chili powder, reducing heat to medium. Cook until lightly browned, stirring constantly. Remove pan from heat and stir in tomato sauce, water and seasonings. Return to medium heat stirring constantly until it thickens. This will take about 5 minutes or so. Remove from heat & let rest for five minutes.
