In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients – flour, dehydrated onion flakes, chili powder, paprika, cornstarch, red pepper powder, salt, cocoa powder, sugar, citric acid, garlic powder, and caramel color.
Heat a saucepan on medium heat, mix together the tomato paste and water until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the saucepan with the tomato paste and water. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat in the saucepan. Once the liquid begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low.
Allow the sauce to simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to combine and thicken the sauce.
After simmering, your Lawry's Enchilada Sauce Mix is ready to use! You can pour it over enchiladas, use it as a marinade, or in any recipe that calls for enchilada sauce.
