All about the sauce...

INGREDIENTS
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth (water can work too)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon garlic , minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

[ol]
  • Heat the canola oil in a saucepan on medium heat.
  • Add the flour and chili powder and stir.
  • Cook until the bright red color turns a bit brown while stirring.
  • In a small bowl mix the tomato sauce with the rest of the ingredients until it is fully blended.
  • Add to your saucepan and whisk until fully mixed.
  • Cook for 8-10 minutes on medium heat until thickened.
  • [/ol]
    For enchiladas...

    Preheat oven to 350*

    Warm corn tortillas (I like red tortillas) in canola oil for 10-15 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Fill each tortilla with mix of cheddar and Monterrey jack cheeses and diced white onion. Wrap tightly.

    In backing dish, ladle enough enchilada sauce to cover bottom and line in your rolled enchilada tightly. Cover in sauce and extra cheese mixture. Top with diced white onion.

    Bake 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Limited on time...will canned HEB enchilada sauce suffice?

    It's no worse than that recipe above that uses tomato sauce. While the canned may have tomato sauce, a true chile sauce for enchiladas does not have tomato sauce - it ain't for pasta.

    That sauce takes about 20 minutes total. I like a little tomato sauce in my for body. Not a ton.

    True, good enchiladas don't take much time. Other than the tomato sauce (just my preference), that recipe is pretty good and not far from what I do. I just use more chili powder and let it thicken to add the body. Again, it is a solid recipe - I just saw the tomato sauce at first and didn't look closer.

    "Fill each tortilla with mix of cheddar and Monterrey jack cheeses"

    Always use American cheese on your enchiladas. I did like the sound of your sauce though.

    If you are from south of Hwy. 90, you will agree.

    I grew up in San Antonio, on the west side... And have spent more than my fair share of time south of 90... I like Cheddar and Jack.

    Quick and easy if somewhat messy

    Open a can of Wolf brand chili (no beans) in a skillet and warm.
    Place a couple or three corn tortillas in the warm chili to coat and soften
    fill with choice of cheese and onions and place in a 13x9 baking dish
    poor remaining chili over the top and add more cheese and onions if desired.
    Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

    Sure it's tasty but that's a bolognese sauce.

    When you find a bolognese sauce that calls for chili powder in those quantities, let me know.

    Let me know when you find a real enchilada sauce that calls for that much ground beef.

    It is very good.


    To the OP, I like to mix some sour cream in with my cheese and onion, just enough to where the cheese all sticks together.

    Fido's enchilada's are pretty good, though I prefer a meatless chili gravy with cheese enchiladas.

    Wound up trying Ree Drummond's recipe. She also called for sour cream in the filling. They were good, and it got the job done, but I wouldn't classify that recipe as cheese enchiladas. Will try Och's recipie next time!

    That's what you get for using an enchilada recipe from an Okie. Only Okie that can cook Mexican food is Rick Bayless (just ignore his brother)

    Indeed.....All you have to do is omit the flour, chili powder, ancho, cumin, and broth and then add butter, onions, carrots, pancetta, pork, chicken livers, sm tomatoes, whole milk, wine, and basil.

    Damn near identical

    As I haven't lived in Texas for 5 years I have to make Tex-Mex myself if I want it, this recipe is happiness.

    Bottom line. I don't even make enchiladas because (as a gringo) they won't be authentic.

    I only eat food that is authentic, has soul and a compelling back-story.
