I got this recipe from by grmil who was born and raised in Mexico City. The secret to its flavor is the cocoa

INGREDIENTS     Nutrition

     SERVINGS 3-6         UNITS US
  • 3tablespoons chili powder
  • 3tablespoons flour
  • 1teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1⁄2teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1teaspoon oregano
  • 3cups water
  • 1(8 ounce) can tomato sauce

DIRECTIONS

o   Combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl.
o   Stirring constantly, slowly add enough of the water to make a thin paste.
o   Pour into pan and add rest of water.
o   Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
o   Stir in tomato sauce.
o   Use in your favorite enchilada recipe.
o   The amounts on the ingredients are very flexible.
o   For instance, if I am feeding my kids who do not like"spicy", I will halve the chili powder and double the tomato sauce.
o   Experiment to suit your taste, but don't leave out the cocoa.
o   For a quick meal, we will soften a corn tortilla in a bit of hot oil, drag it through the sauce, and lay it flat on a plate.
o   cover it with grated cheddar cheese, sprinkle with chopped onions and sliced black olives.
o   Then cover with another softened sauced tortilla and melt the cheese in the microwave for 1 minute on high.
