I have a good tex-mex cookbook with a red enchilada sauce recipe. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks good.
I'm out of town, but will be back Tuesday afternoon. Feel free to PM me next week if you'd like it. I can post it but will probably need a reminder .
ETA a pic of the cookbook.
Found this recipe of his on the internet. He calls it "Chili Gravy"
Servings: 2 cups/1 pint
Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1/4 cup lard (or vegetable oil)
1/4 cup flour*
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp powdered garlic
2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano (Mexican oregano is preferred if it’s available)
2 T chile powder (either homemade or a dark brand such as Gebhardt’s or Whole Foods)
2 cups chicken broth (water or vegetable broth)

My parents used to order their chili powder from a guy in Kansas, (I think). It had the best flavor/aroma and wasn't too hot. I would love a good recipe for making my own. My mom also made a really good Tex-Mex spaghetti sauce. I'm sure it was that chili powder that gave it all the flavor.
