For a richer flavor, try using olive oil instead of vegetable oil. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness. For a smokier flavor, use smoked paprika in addition to or instead of some of the chili powder. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose flour and add a pinch of baking powder. Store leftover enchilada sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
