How do you thicken enchilada sauce with flour?

[chimam]

Hey ALL! Recently, been trying to perfect my enchilada sauce but feel it's a bit too runny. I heard flour can thicken sauces, yet I'm unsure how to incorporate this correctly. Anyone have tips on using flour without making the sauce lumpy? Would really appreciate any advice you've found effective. Tia!

To thicken enchilada sauce with flour, start by making a roux. Melt some butter in a saucepan, then whisk in an equal amount of flour until smooth. Cook it for a minute or two, then gradually whisk in your enchilada sauce until it thickens to your liking. Enjoy!
