  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 25 grams of egg white (half of an egg white), lightly beaten

  • ¼ teaspoon lime juice

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons lukewarm water

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Enchilada Filling

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup or more mozzarella cheese

  • Enchilada sauce

Directions:

  1. Mix all ingredients together, except the water

  2. Slowly add in water, kneading and mix until desire dough consistency

  3. Wrap and chill dough for 10 minutes

  4. Roll out or use a tortilla press

  6. Heat tortillas on both sides

  7. In a small bowl add the flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt and cinnamon

  8. In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, warm the oil until it’s hot

  9. Add flour mixture, whisking constantly, cook until fragrant and slightly deepened in color, about 1 minute. Whisk the tomato paste into the mixture, then slowly pour in the broth while whisking constantly to remove any lumps.

  10. Raise heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, whisking often, for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the sauce has thickened a bit and a spoon encounters some resistance as you stir it. (The sauce will thicken some more as it cools.)
