This zesty tomato-based sauce has a touch of spice and is jam packed with flavor. I love it for enchiladas, casseroles, and more.
A Deliciously Easy Sauce
My homemade enchiladas have soft corn tortillas rolled around shredded or ground beef or chicken, smothered in enchilada sauce, and baked in the oven. You can also spoon this sauce spoon it over tacos, or use it to enhance the filling in burritos or chimichangas.
Ingredients for Enchilada Sauce
This is a red enchilada sauce recipe although there are other variations (like the green enchilada sauce I add to my creamy chicken enchiladas). It has a base of toasted spices with lots of chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. It’s simmered with a bit of broth and tomato sauce until thickened. Browning the flour with oil adds an extra layer of flavor and only takes a few minutes so it’s definitely worth the extra effort.
How to Make Enchilada Sauce
Making enchilada sauce is simple, literally takes only minutes, and requires almost no prep work! You’ll make a roux with the tomato sauce and broth. Pour this sauce over a pan of baked enchiladas for a Mexican inspired favorite that your family will love. Did your family love this Enchilada Sauce?
