HOMEMADE ENCHILADA SAUCE



Homemade Enchilada Sauce image

This homemade red enchilada sauce has authentic Mexican flavor! It's so good and easy, you'll never go back to store-bought sauce again. You can even make a double batch and freeze half of it for later. Recipe as written below yields about 2 cups (16 ounces) sauce.

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Condiment

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons flour (whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and gluten-free flour blends all work!)
1 tablespoon ground chili powder (scale back if you're sensitive to spice or using particularly spicy chili powder)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon salt, to taste
Pinch of cinnamon (optional but recommended)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • This sauce comes together quickly once you get started, so measure the dry ingredients (the flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, salt and optional cinnamon) into a small bowl and place it near the stove. Place the tomato paste and broth near the stove as well.
  • In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, warm the oil until it's hot enough that a light sprinkle of the flour/spice mixture sizzles on contact. This might take a couple of minutes, so be patient and don't step away from the stove!
  • Once it's ready, pour in the flour and spice mixture. While 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.
  • 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.)
  • Remove from heat, then whisk in the vinegar and season to taste with a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Add more salt, if necessary (I usually add another pinch or two). Go forth and make enchiladas!

RICH AND FLAVORFUL ENCHILADA SAUCE



Rich and Flavorful Enchilada Sauce image

I came by this recipe completely by accident one day when I was making a red sauce for another Mexican-style dish, and when I tasted it I realized it was the perfect rich but mild enchilada sauce for me! Rich and flavorful, this one is a winner. It's fast and easy to make, and tastes much better than the canned variety. If you like your enchilada sauce spicier, add some minced jalapenos or some hot chili powder. I plan to do some canning this fall, and batches of this sauce in jars is on the list.

Categories     Sauces

Time 10m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups boiling water
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules (*)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes or 1/4 cup finely minced fresh yellow onion
1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder or 2 teaspoons minced roasted garlic
1 tablespoon dried ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dry sherry
Tabasco sauce or your favorite hot sauce, to taste (I used somewhere between 1/4 to 1/2 tsp, cause I'm a whimp)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir together the boiling water and bouillon granules until dissolved.
  • Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Use in your favorite enchilada recipes!
  • *Note:I prefer using 1 tsp of Maggi Chicken with Chipotle bouillon cube and 1 tsp of Chicken and Tomato bouillon cube (in the international aisle, from Nestle products) instead of 2 tsp beef bouillon; please note that most Maggi bouillon cubes contain 2 tsps, so you'll be using half-cubes.
  • Makes about 4 cups (2 cups is usually enough for one batch of enchilada casserole).
