Heat oil over medium high heat. |
Add flour and chile powder. (Notice I'm using a silicone whisk so I don't scratch my non-stick cookware!) |
Stir until lightly browned. (I know, it's kind of hard to tell with such a red sauce.) |
Add tomato sauce. |
Add water. |
Stir in seasonings. |
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook about 10 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly. |
Now you have a delicious red sauce for all of your Mexican favorites! |

1/4 cup New Mexico or other good quality chile powder

1 1/2 cups water
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
salt to taste
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour and chile powder. Reduce heat and cook until lightly browned. Stir constantly to prevent flour from burning. Gradually stir in tomato sauce, water, cumin, garlic powder and onion salt until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and continue cooking about 10 minutes or until sauce is slightly thicker. Season with salt to taste.
