Enchilada Recipes

September 16, 2009

Homemade Enchilada Sauce Recipes, A red enchilada covered in sauce.These are similar to what you get on the enchilada dinner at El Chico, but way better.

Ingredients:

Directions:

In a skillet large enough to hold one flat tortilla, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.

Lay one tortillas at a time in hot oil for 10 seconds or just until limp, adding more oil as needed. Let excess oil drip back into pan and then lay tortilla on a plate covered with paper towels to absorb more oil. Blot slightly with additional paper towels between each addition. Repeat with all 12.

In a 9 1/2 inch by 12 inch oven safe casserole dish, spread a very thin layer of chili over the bottom. Take the first tortilla, place a 1/4 inch thick slice of cheese (should be about 1/2 inch wide) down the center of the tortilla, side to side, sprinkle with one tablespoon chopped onion. Roll up and place seam side down in the casserole dish and repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Slightly thin the remaining chili with water and spread over the top of the enchiladas. Either grate some of the cheese over or add several thin slices randomly over the chili. Cover completely with aluminum foil.

Place in 350 degree F. oven for 30-45 minutes. Check at 30 minutes to see if chili is bubbling and remove then if it is or continue heating another 10-15 minutes. Serve with rice, refried beans, guacamole and chips.

Servings: 4-5

Make the filling by combining chicken, olives, almonds, and enough of the sauce to moisten (about 1/3 cup). Heat sauce on low heat. Fry tortillas in oil and dip into heated sauce.

When I lived in California, a restaurant near Loma Linda Hospital served the BEST Vegetarian "Chicken" Enchiladas! From what I remember it had flour tortillas rather than corn. It had green chiles and a sour cream/cheese sauce. I would LOVE to have the recipe. It was so delicious. They served it every Thursday for lunch. I no longer remember the name of the restaurant.

Do you know what the chicken replacement was? Tofu? TVP (textured veg. protein, usually in pellets)? potato mash? Any of these would work with a chicken stock or base and a basic enchilada recipe.

Herdez makes a good green chile sauce (small cans) that would be good.

If you are trying to do vegetarian you wouldn't do chicken stock! Use vegetable stock instead.

If you are talking about the red sauce, that is called enchilada sauce. There are several store products. Some are a mix in a pouch, and some come in a can, ready to use, and of course, you can google 'enchilada sauce' for several recipes to try, till you find just the one you like!

I don't make those, so I don't have a recipe to share :(

I use Old El Paso Enchailada red sauce mix when I make enchiladas. There is a very simple recipe on the back of the can for them that only involves 4 or 5 items and takes about 45-60 minutes start to finish. The sauce comes in mild, medium and hot, which I sometimes mix and I also usually use at least one extra can of sauce because we like the sauce.

The red sauce is called chili Colorado. I like the specific taste of canned enchilada sauce so I make chili sauce and then add a can of enchilada sauce. I don't know what the unknown ingredient is. I hope it comes up on this column. For chili sauce, take dried chilies (not real hot, soak for 20 minutes, take out the stem and seeds (these make them hotter), put the husks in a blender with a couple cloves of garlic and 1-2T cumin, some salt. Hold the top and blend. Add 1-2T flour, blend. Heat to simmer. Simmer 10 min. Add canned sauce if you use it. Dip tortillas. Fill tortillas. Pour sauce (reserve if you may need more for after they're heated). Maybe 350F for 20-40 min. This (obviously) is not an exact recipe. Good luck.

Actually, poster Tennesue was correct. I am Mexican-American and love Mexican food. Chili Colorado just means red chili sauce. The brand is Las Palmas in a yellow can, do NOT use the enchilada sauce it is not as good. My sisters and I just talked about it.

Dip corn tortillas in hot oil for a second or two til soft not hard then dip in red chili sauce and save some red chili sauce to pour on top as you are serving. I just made these and boyfriend was impressed.

Easy, you use frozen burritos, lots of cheese, everyone likes it and easy to change up! Mix the cheese soup and enchilada sauce together. Pour half on the bottom of a 8x8 or a 9x13 inch (will be little big, but ok) pan. Microwave the burritos for a minute.
