Need A Delicious Enchilada Sauce Recipe...

Sunshine Kate — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 18:50:48 GMT

I love enchiladas and am looking for an enchilada recipe. I've searched extensively on the internet and have made quite a few, but can't come up with one that I've had in some Mexican food restaurants.

The one I want has chili powder in it, and doesn't have a strong tomato taste. It's almost a caramel color.

Can anyone help?

TIA

My mom always used las Palma's Chile sauce, thickened with a little flour to dip the tortillas in. They were delicious !

Enchilada Sauce

2 T oil

2 T flour

1 T chili powder

garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste

1 c of chicken broth ( I just use the can broth)

In a saucepan, put the oil, flour, and chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Stir and cook a little to get rid of the raw taste of the flour. Slowly whisk in the chicken

broth to prevent lumps. Add a little more chicken broth or water if needed. Recipe can be

doubled. Enjoy!!!

We buy Trader Joe's enchilada sauce. It's so good.

I have shared this recipe here often and it similar to Barbarainnc, but will happily share it again. I've been making it over 20 years. I have also used it as a base for soups and pot pie filling. Super easy and forgiving and a few times that I got it a bit too spicy, I stirred in some cream cheese until melted, worked great.

ENCHILADA GRAVY

¼ Cup Cooking or Peanut Oil

4 – 5 Tablespoons Flour

1 Chicken bouillon cube (or powdered equivalentI like to use granulated bouillon, it is a little more flexible)

Gebhardt or other Chili powder Blend

2 – 2 ½ Cups water

Heat oil in a heavy skillet or saucepan, whisk in the flour, add the bouillon, when the flour starts to brown add 1 – 1 ½ cups of water, stirring constantly with whisk to prevent lumps, add 1 – 2 Tablespoons of the chili powder blend (to your taste). Let it cook for 2 minutes on medium heat. If the gravy seems to be thick, add little amounts of water until it is not too thick or two thin.
