Lisa's Enchilada Sauce
Recipes » Marinades and Sauces » Sauce
I like to flavor my water with 4 or 5 dried chiles ( seeds removed), just let them boil for 10 min, discard all but one and use the water and the softened chile for a real authentic tasting Sauce. I don't buy this kind of sauce anymore, i always have some in my fridge in a squeeze bottle for taco's, burrito's, nacho's and quesadilla's
"After moving to the UK I've tried multiple recipes in order to recreate the enchilada sauce I miss from home. This is the closest I've been (luckily I had proper New Mexican chili peppers bought from a recent visit to the US); snd fairly easy to mske. Thanls!in fact it might be even more delicious! The recipe was easy to follow" - BlueridgebabeYield: 12 Ready in 20 minutes

Notes Lisa's Enchilada Sauce Preparation
Melt butter in a sauce pan.
Make a roux by browning flour in melted butter mixing constantly
Add spices and tomato paste; stir until well blended into roux.
Add water gradually using a whisk, stirring constantly.
Heat until boiling.
Continue simmering and stirring until desired thickness is achieved.
Taste every so often and adjust spices as needed, when finished, i like to pop it into my magic bullet blender for just a quick blend.
You may add more chile powder, chicken broth to make it the perfect consistancy. Be sure to strain out the chopped red chile

Excellent recipe! I try to make as much from scratch as possible and this is definitely going in my recipe box!

Love this quick, easy and great tasting recipe! Only changes I made was to decrease chili powder (by half). In fact, I substituted Paprika for remainder of chili powder.
Turned out great, raves by the entire family. Thanks!

I haven't made a roux before. I was a little nervous, but this came out great. So much better than store bought. Will make again!
