My 5 Star ENCHILADA SAUCE // You’ll Never Want Another One ❤️

This is my 5 STAR ENCHILADA SAUCE, I gave it that name because it’s that good. I came up with this recipe years ago by just adding and subtracting ingredients until it was just perfect. You can use it to make Chicken, Beef, or plain cheese enchiladas and it’s also perfect on Burrito’s, Chimichangas, Tacos , Quesadillas, eggs etc… it is so good that’s you’ll never need another recipe and you will never want store bought again. This is an easy recipe that can be made ahead and it can be be doubled too. I hope you give it a try. ❤️

Hi Rachel, I have made this enchilada sauce several times now. It is the best! I have kept it in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors marry. Then I freeze it. It works just beautifully and I must say, it is nice having it already made up when you want to make a huge Mexican dinner. I thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and just heat it up to dip my enchiladas. It is just a fabulous sauce. There is nothing better. Thank you so much for this recipe. ❤

[@johncspine2787]

Freezing in itself will marry the flavors..not necessary to wait if you’re freezing.

[@ludwiglanestudios]

So the best enchilada sauce I've ever had in my life was Casa Guadalajara in Old Town San Diego. The Mexican Restaurants in that area do things right and amazing. Then I tried this recipe. This one is just as good, if not, better than the restaurants in Old Town San Diego. With some minor adjustments to the roux and different steps (like cooking the flour for several seconds to roast it more before adding the oil), i think I can make it better than any restaurant. Thank you!

💁🏻‍♀️Thank you sooo very much for making your enchilada sauce...I made some from a past video and let me tell you IT'S EASY & DELICIOUS!!! I once used "chipotle chili powder"(🤢...I didn't care for it therefore I was disappointed as I desire traditional Mexican flavors) and I sincerely recommend using a chili powder you are familiar with the first time you make this ☝🏻Follow the instructions/directions Rachel gives you...from the ingredients such as Mexican Oregano and NOT Italian oregano to the way she layers the ingredients in stages because you are essentially building the sauce and it comes out perfectly😊👍🏻
