Easy Homemade Enchilada Sauce

Directions

1. 1
   Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. 2
   Add the onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. 3
   Add the garlic and the spices and saute for 30 seconds.
4. 4
   Add the tomato sauce and water, and stir well to combine.
5. 5
   Bring the sauce to a boil, then remove from heat. There is no need to cook the sauce any further as it will continue cooking with your enchiladas. If you'd like a smoother sauce, process in a food processor until smooth.
