I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, she makes her enchilada sauce from scratch and it is so delicious! I don’t think I will ever be able to go back to using the canned stuff.
Ingredients
- ENCHILADA SAUCE:
- 3 Tbsp oil
- 2 Tbsp flour
- ¼ c. chili powder (yes, you really use that much)
- 1 Tbsp. cumin
- 2 c. beef broth
- 2. c. tomato sauce
- ½ tsp. oregano
- 1 clove minced garlic
- salt, to taste
- ENCHILADAS:
- raw flour tortillas (from Costco)
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded ahead of time
- refried beans
- white rice (we cooked it with some lime and cilantro)
- canned white corn, drained and rinsed
- shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- FOR THE SAUCE: Stir oil, flour, chili powder and cumin in a saucepan on low heat until bubbly. Add beef broth, tomato sauce, oregano, garlic and salt. Simmer for 15 min over low heat stirring occasionally.
- FOR THE ENCHILADAS: While sauce is simmering cook the flour tortillas in a large pan.
- Stir in some of the enchilada sauce to the chicken. Take a tortilla and layer it with beans, chicken, corn, and rice. Spray the bottom of a 9x13 pan and add the rolled up enchiladas. (You can fit about 8 to 10 enchiladas in the pan). Cover the enchiladas with the sauce then top with cheddar cheese. Bake at 325 for 1 hour.
- Serve with sour cream, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce on top.

Delicious!!!
Is this super spicy? Looks so yummy.
It is not spicy (hot) at all. Not any more than enchilada sauce in a can.
Yum! I love enchiladas but am not a huge fan of canned sauce. Thanks for sharing!
How much rice should be made for these?
I did three scoops of rice in my rice cooker.
