Enchilada sauce, a staple of Mexican cooking, is made by toasting dried red chilies until fragrant, softening them in hot water, and simmering them for a long time with tomato and spices. At party tables it is poured over enchiladas, tacos or rice.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Toast and Soften the Chilies

17 min

Toast the dried red chilies in a dry pan for 2 minutes, turning every few seconds, then soak them in hot water for 15 minutes to soften.

2

Blend the Sauce Base

5 min

Blend the softened chilies with the tomato, onion, garlic cloves, cumin and oregano leaves into a smooth mixture.

3

Toast the Flour and Add the Sauce

3 min

Toast the flour in the vegetable oil for 1 minute, then add the blended mixture and stir well.

4

Simmer over Low Heat

35 min

Add the water and salt, and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 35 minutes until thickened.

Reminder

Important: toast the dried chilies just until fragrant, turning every few seconds — if they scorch, the sauce turns bitter and sharp. Allergens: contains gluten (flour).
