Homemade Red Enchilada Sauce

 I have never enjoyed red enchilada sauce from a can but love when it's homemade. When life gets crazy though who has time to make homemade sauce. Well, I finally have a sauce that is quick, easy and delicious! Bonus, you can freeze it!

First you heat up the butter and oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. 

Once butter is melted, add in the taco seasoning and stir in.

Next stir in the flour and cook for about a minute stirring frequently.

Then add in broth, tomato sauce, and salt.

Simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes or until it's thickened.

Stores in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Use this on enchiladas or our favorite are enchilada stacks.
