Enchilada sauce:
3/4 cup chili powder
1 cup corn masa mix (also known as masa mixta, Maseca or Quaker brand)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 tablet Mexican chocolate (Ibarra or Abuelita, available at Mexican markets and some supermarkets)
4 tablespoons peanut butter
3 pints (48 ounces) chicken broth, at room temperature
About 1 pint water
Combine and mix all dry ingredients (including chocolate). In a large saucepan slowly combine the broth with the dry ingredients. Turn up heat and stir in peanut butter and stir until peanut butter is completely dissolved. Bring sauce to a boil, then lower heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add water to make a consistency of runny gravy. Makes about 2 quarts.
