Directions :

Make your enchilada sauce!

Pour your vegetable or canola oil into a medium pot over medium high heat. Add your flour and your chili powder and cook until a dark paste forms (about 3 minutes).

Once the paste is cooked through, add your diced onions and sauté until they start to soften. Once they begin to soften, add your minced garlic and tomato paste. Cook out another minute.
