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. ❤️

When I recognize your recipes being pirated I call them out. ❤

[@texassews535]

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.

[@richardvtagle]

One of the easiest and my go to recipe for enchilada sauce. My friend, I give this sauce 10 stars! Now I'm inspired to make enchiladas for Sunday dinner. I truly think it's time for you and your Ron to look at putting all your delicious recipes into a book. I know you'd have a best seller. Again, another recipe that hopefully all your viewers already have in their recipe boxes. May y'all just have the smoothest of rides toward the weekend. Bet it's getting really fall beautiful over there. Lots of love sent your way awesome Rachel.

While editing, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did add them with the recipe list and I also posted this in description box. (Add both after you add some broth)❤️

Hey Rachel, if I grew it, dried it and stored it AND I'm Mexican, is my home grown oregano "Mexican Oregano?" 🤔

[@juliochavez7161]

I resemble that remark!

[@rachelcookswithlove]

Only if it was Mexican oregano to begin with.😉

Great recipe! Did you forget the tomato paste?

[@rachelcookswithlove]

In the description box, I noted that while editing, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did include them in the recipe list. I made a note of it in the description box. Thank you so much. ❤️

Can I substitute veg oil n use olive oil instead… n almond flour the other stuff I can use

[@rachelcookswithlove]

So sorry I can't tell you since I've never tried it...thevolivevoil would change the flavor a little I think, and I have no idea what the almost flour would do. So sorry I couldn't help my friend. ❤️

Rachel... thanks for another great video. I wrote out the recipe. Might help someone. (Let me know if I messed up anywhere and I'll fix it.) Rachel's Enchilada Sauce Ingredients/Shopping List (makes roughly 3 Cups) Ingredients Amount (Prep) (Notes) Butter 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil 2 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour 3 Tablespoons Chili Powder 1 ½ Tablespoons Paprika 2 teaspoons Onion Powder 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin 1 teaspoon Mexican Oregano ½ teaspoon (grind between palms before adding) Granulated White Sugar ½ teaspoon Chicken Broth 3 Cups Knorr Chicken Bouillon 1 ½ teaspoons Tomato Paste 2 teaspoons Sea Salt A pinch (to taste) Directions Abbreviations - C - Cup, TB - Tablespoon, tsp - teaspoon Prep Work (Before Starting to Cook) Hint - Cooking goes much smoother if you measure out ingredients before starting. Making Enchilada Sauce In large skillet over Medium-Low heat, add butter (1 TB) and olive oil (2 TB). Melt butter. Add all-purpose flour (3 TB) and mix continuously until “golden and smells nutty” to make a roux (for thicken sauce). Take your time and adjust heat as needed. Reduce heat to Low and add chili powder (1 ½ TB). Mix continuously with roux (30 seconds). Note - Lower heat more if needed so as not to burn roux and spices. Add paprika (2 tsp) and mix continuously (30 seconds). Add onion powder (1 tsp) and mix continuously (30 seconds). Add garlic powder (2 tsp) and mix continuously (30 seconds). Add cumin powder (1 tsp) and mix continuously (30 seconds). You should smell spices releasing their aromas. Rub oregano (½ tsp) between palms and add to skillet. Mix continuously (30 seconds). Add white sugar (½ tsp) (optional). Add some of chicken broth (½ C to start) and mix thoroughly. When chicken broth is mixed completely with roux/spices, repeat by adding more chicken broth (a little at a time) and thoroughly mixing. Note - Take your time adding broth and mixing until all chicken broth is mixed in. It will be worth the effort. Add chicken bouillon (1 ½ tsp) and tomato paste (2 tsp). Mix continuously (5 minutes) as sauce thickens. Place a lid on skillet and simmer enchilada sauce over Low heat while stirring every few minutes (10-15 minutes). Taste test and adjust seasoning (as needed). Serving Enchilada Sauce Use in cheese/beef/chicken enchiladas, for wet burritos/chimichangas or on tacos, quesadillas, eggs, etc.

I do think the sugar is important because it's a good balance, but it is optional...I always use vegetable oil because it doesn't change the flavor. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️

@@rachelcookswithlove I made changes - Vegetable Oil and took optional off sugar. I made an educated guess on when to add sugar and tomato paste. If you need a cookbook writer/editor let me know. (fyi - I don't trust the vegetable oils in grocery stores - too many caustic chemicals used in production)

[@livij.9539]

Thank you so much for writing out the recipe Greg. It's a great help! I think the tomato paste comes in just before the chicken broth?!
