When you are craving Mexican food, anything from enchiladas, soups, and casseroles, using a quick gluten-free enchilada sauce is an easy way to layer on flavor. Many store brands contain flour, so instead I make this flourless sauce in only 5 minutes using canned tomato sauce and pantry staple spices. It's more affordable than buying speciality brands and has a richly, authentic flavor.

⅓ cupgluten-free chicken broth

Instructions

Step 1

Heat a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Melt the butter or heat the oil. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute.

Step 2

Carefully pour in the canned tomato sauce (I usually remove the pan from the heat so it doesn't splatter up) and then add the vinegar with spices. Bring to low simmer and cook for 3 minutes to infuse flavors. Keep an eye on the pot when it simmers, because it doesn't take much heat for tomato sauce to bubble out of the pan.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and stir in chicken broth to your desired consistency. I usually add about ⅓-½ cup. If you are making gluten-free enchiladas you may want to add a little more. Makes 2 cups.
