Enchalada Sauce

"This enchalada sauce goes together very quickly with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! I typically use a mild chilli powder (ancho), but if you want spicier sauce you substitute this. If you have trouble with lumps, try using tomato passata instead of tomato paste, reducing the amount of vegetable stock to match. Don't worry if the sauce seems a little thin, it will thicken as it cools. One batch substitutes for one can of store-bought sauce."
