I made smothered burritos the other day with leftover pork. I do not like red enchilada sauce from the can. I found this recipe to make my own and it was delicious! Like Mexican restaurant delicious! (Probably best to half it)
1/2 C Vegetable Shortening
3/4 C Flour
4 C Beef Broth
2 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4-1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (I just left this out for my kids)
1/2 C Milk
16 oz Tomato Sauce
6 oz Tomato Paste (I did not have paste so I substituted tomato chunks and really liked it)
2 C Water
Melt the shortening in large pan on medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk while the flour and shortening mix together. Add the beef broth and whisk until smooth. Add the rest of the spices and mix again. Whisk in the milk. Pour in the tomato sauce, tomato paste (or diced tomatoes, drained) and water. Whisk the sauce until completely smooth. Cover the pot and let simmer for about an hour (don't know if I did it that long) Make sure to stir the sauce every 10-15 minutes so it doesn't burn the bottom.
