Been looking for some good Tex-Mex sauce and Ima give this one a go. Do yourself a favor and fry the corn tortillas in oil for 30 seconds before you make your enchiladas. It adds a ton of flavor and that’s how most restaurants do it.

[@LopezJosie]

Also use chicken broth instead of water!

[@deyaeliza]

Yes!!!

[@PeachyAutumn]

I would never use corn tortillas for enchiladas, flour tortillas EVERY time.

[@monaranger5885]

I’ve been looking for a text-mex sauce too. I’m going to try this right now. How many enchiladas came out on this recipe?

[@tbatch1266]

this is just how my Mexican mother and grandmother made enchilada sauce except they used chicken broth instead of water. I'm not able to ask them how to do it, so I searched for a video that would be like their method. I've looked thru a few videos and yours is just how they did it. I remembered as I watched... I couldn't remember when the flour came into the process but this video helped me remember. THX!

[@shaymarie7045]

What I like about this recipe is all the ingredients are in my kitchen already, don't have to run out to get anything. Just what I was looking for. Thank you for the post.

[@Ready2roll111]

I COOKED WITH IT. MY WHOLE HOUSE KNEW WHAT I WAS COOKING. IT SMELLS LIKE LOVE. ITS GREAT.

[@miathapapaya]

It really does smell so amazing

[@rubenlujan4618]

Another suggestion after frying the tortilla for 30 seconds, set it inside the enchilada sauce and submerge it for about a minute, remove the tortilla with a spatula, set it in a baking dish, add your cheese or chicken or whatever you're using then roll using, maybe, a couple of forks. I'm gonna try your enchilada sauce with chilaquiles today. But instead of just plain water, I think I may add Knorr's chicken flavored bouillon, 1 tsp per cup of water. When sauce is done, taste before adding any salt. Happy cooking!

[@allrecipes]

Great question. The only difference between self rising and regular flour is the addition of baking powder and salt. Many Allrecipes member used all purpose flour in this recipe with great success. Be sure to season with salt to taste. Enjoy!

[@martinschuessler1936]

I was wondering the exact same thing. The Baking Powder is heat-activated and creates carbon dioxide, which creates the lift when you bake. In this recipe, the flour is made into a roux and the heat will negate the benefit of the baking powder.

[@helenmartinez6447]

I was looking for an old school restaurant style flavor and this is a great Tex-Mex sauce! I added a teaspoon of low sodium Knorr bullion powder and half a pkg of Sazón coriander annatto for just a little kick! Thank you!❤️👍🏽

[@marisehernandez1622]

I am mexican american and this sauce is muy bueno! Thanks for sharing!

[@CallduhAmberLamp]

Wrong

And yet you can't speak proper spanish lmao

@@CARRIEFITER says the critic who exercises poor punctuation.

[@suzybrat2945]

Just made this. In fact my enchiladas are in the oven right now. I used onion powder, because I didn't have onion salt and I used plain flour, instead of self rising. It's so good! I'll never buy the canned stuff again. It makes enough for a decent size pan, double the recipe if you want more than one pan. :)

[@rosemarytalavera3756]

So...u used regular flour?? I don't have self rising flour. Please reply. Thank u.🙂

[@mandymoreno5432]

Omg finally a recipe similar to my grandmas! My grandma never measured anything so it’s nice to have measurements.... I’m not on that level yet 😉

[@28ebdh3udnav]

My mom is the same by tasting a bit as she goes. She always know what it needs even when I don't taste the difference

[@justretired100]

I just used it and my enchiladas were outstanding! It's a great recipe and easy to make. There may be better recipes for this sauce, somewhere, but I haven't found any, and it beats anything you can buy in a can.

[@allrecipes]

So happy you enjoyed this recipe, Jon! Thank you for letting us know :)

[@myssdaisy2009]

The recipe will not pull up anymore, but here is what I got from watching the video.. 1/4 cup oil 2 tbsp self rising flour 1/4 cup chili powder 8oz can tomato sauce 1.5 cups water 1/4 tsp cumin powder 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion salt

[@garylester8621]

Thank you. From Texas.

[@blancaalvarez743]

Thank you👍

[@niralinirmal8753]

This is such a great recipe. Simple easy and fast which yields perfect taste. The sauce turned out to be So so so so good

[@ashjackson6798]

Good basic recipe. Try these variations: Use chicken broth instead of water. Or, use beer instead of water. Bump up the garlic to one generous tablespoon. Use tomato sauce with minced jalapeno peppers already in it. Add a teaspoon of brown sugar to the sauce. Combine any of these variations - and enjoy! I hope this helps.

[@anasalwash]

I liked your version.. Seems more tasty

[@armdekdee888]

that sounds good

[@jasmynesartstudio]

Also, try not adding the water. It has a bolder flavor without the water added

[@adrianaaguilar6193]

My Mom and I prepared some great enchiladas and added this great sauce! Everyone enjoyed this dinner and could not stop saying how great they tasted. Thank you so much for sharing your tasty enchilada sauce. Thumbs up 😃

[@sandaysunday7997]

You can also enhance flavor by stirring in some chicken stock, or beef stock. Appreciate the ease of this recipe.

[@irmajimenez8254]

Went to buy sauce at two no three stores, didnt have. On way home, I say Lord u want me to make it from scratch..got home looking for help. So glad He showed me this. God bless, TFS!

[@myraramirez7384]

Let's take this for what it is, this is a tex-mex recipe, sometimes I like enchiladas verdes or rojas(authentic), sometimes I like these. I like to change up and even make Indian Mexican. 😊 Nothing wrong with variety.

[@jessewaughcom]

So you think Tex-Mex / Cal-Mex food is inauthentic?

[@Rashelle.]

Ingredients: ¼ cup vegetable oil ¼ cup New Mexico or California chili powder 2 tablespoons self-rising flour 1 ½ cups water 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce ¼ teaspoon ground cumin ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon onion salt salt to taste Directions: Step 1 Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in chili powder and flour, reduce heat to medium, and cook until fragrant and deepened in color, stirring constantly to prevent the flour from burning, about 1 minute. Step 2 Gradually stir in water, tomato sauce, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt until smooth. Continue cooking over medium heat until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Season with salt.

[@miathapapaya]

Oh my god that chili powder roux made my whole house smell mouthwatering. Actually I think I'll never buy the sauce again, this was so good. I used a 15 oz can of tomato sauce, some bouillon, paprika, pepper, the chili powder and flour roux and some chef merito carne asada seasoning. It made a whole lot, too.

[@steelhurricane4041]

This recipe is so easy and I love the orange sauce you see in authentic Mexican restaurants. It make must be the white flour and oil that lightens up the red chili powder. Yum.

[@allrecipes]

Thank you for your question, Brett. Cumin powder is made from grinding up cumin seeds. This spices is often used in Mexican cooking.

[@OscarRodriguez-ln2om]

So basically I feel stupid buying these cans of sauce I will try this recipe 👍🏼

[@2448redbird]

I KNEW there had to be an easy way to do this.

[@CallduhAmberLamp]

Boil dry chilies with tomato, oregano, garlic, and chicken bouillon. Blend all ingredients and add the liquid until the texture is how you like it strain and your done. More authentic and taste better.

[@techsavy1698]

There’s always an easy way to make food but that doesn’t mean it’s going to taste good

[@lisabell7381]

Q!

[@vanessawilliams1313]

I used this recipe and it made my always great enchiladas into even tastier enchiladas

Made this last night for my chicken enchiladas and it was a big hit. Thanks

What a lovely voice! Makes the recipe look even better

[@joekidd2211]

I use Chimayo chili powder. And use chicken, beef or vegetable stock. I’ll be making this tonight.

[@dempseydog4333]

Thanks for sharing..I always wanted to learn how to make it..I am definitely going to try this on my day off. Looks fantastic. Thanks again.

Wow that was easy!!! and taste better than the store won't need to go to the store and buy it anymore thanks 😘

[@margiegonzalez7399]

Dip the corn tortillas in hot oil to soften them up a little and than dip them in the sauce before rolling them works good every time.

[@suztheultimateq2011]

why self-rising flour?

[@caroldubs]

Try frying the tortilla, they'll taste much better!

[@RealBigBadJohn]

No, please don't.

[@allrecipes]

We hope you will give it a try and let us know how it turns out!

[@jmarcos1008]

That to me is a perfect enchilada sauce. Thank you.

[@myssdaisy2009]

i just made a doubled batch and it came out delicious!!

[@MrAnthonyfrench]

Good recipe, good to start with and add bits take away bits to suite yourself. Thanks

[@gaittr]

brilliant, simple and easy to modify to one's own taste. Thank you for a to the point video. Good job.

[@jasmynesartstudio]

Do not add the water if you want a really strong flavor. The first time I made this, I forgot the water and the taste was AMAZING. I added water in the second time, and it was good but not to the same degree. Experiment and see which one you like better

[@ibendtin]

so first you make a roux but chilli powder added, once cooked down thin with water and add yummy spices. Why have I been buying enchilada sauce?

[@susanhenry6834]

I just asked myself the same question, I have all ingredients in my kitchen.

i love the video+website/recipe combination - i don' t have to sit, watch and write down notes from the video , keep it up

[@phickle]

Sounds delicious! And I agree, there is a huge difference when using New Mexico chili powder. Have you ever used browned flour? It gives the sauce a wonderful nutty flavor.

[@raychang8648]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great video!

[@jessicaaguilar521]

I try recipe they awesome

[@chiconva]

I do or did I can of tomato paste three red sweet peppers about a small container of chili powder a bit of cumin a bit of coriander powder oregano Chad the onion garlic chocolate powder three bullion cubes chicken A small dash of cayenne pepper and of course water I didn’t need to use any flour

[@myssdaisy2009]

Still my go to everytime!

[@TheMadMariner]

Would love some recommendations for the chili powder. There are just so many to choose from when you search online.

[@joekidd2211]

Chimayo chili powder seems to have the most consistent flavor that i have found

[@RNLIFE-nc3hc]

This is the way i was taught growing up in the kitchen except we would use chicken boullion in the water. onion powder then add some sharp cheddar into the sauce until fully melted.

[@pootjack]

Am going to try tonight. Assessment will be tomorrow.

[@BlessednFavored7]

Yesss
