Homemade Enchilada Sauce
Made this for lunch. Very happy with this recipe:

2 T chili powder
3 T flour
1 tsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp garlic salt
3 C water
8 oz canned tomato sauce

Mix dry ingredients in pan. Add enough of the 3 C of water to make a paste. Then add rest of water. Cook until mixture thickens. Add tomato sauce.

Note: It took quite awhile to thicken, even on medium high.
