This enchilada sauce is a flavorful and spicy addition to your Mexican dishes, perfect for enhancing your enchiladas, tacos, or burritos.
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Using a non-stick saucepan can make cleaning easier.
Add the chopped onion, diced chili peppers, and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before using it in your dishes.
For a smoother texture, blend the sauce using an immersion blender.
