My 5 Star ENCHILADA SAUCE // You’ll Never Want Another One ❤️

- This is my 5 STAR ENCHILADA SAUCE, I gave it that name because it’s that good. I came up with this recipe years ago by just adding and subtracting ingredients until it was just perfect. You can use it to make Chicken, Beef, or plain cheese enchiladas and it’s also perfect on Burrito’s, Chimichangas, Tacos , Quesadillas, eggs etc… it is so good that’s you’ll never need another recipe and you will never want store bought again. This is an easy recipe that can be made ahead and it can be be doubled too. I hope you give it a try. ❤️

Hi everybody, I want to apologize for not showing me add the tomato paste or the sugar, I accidentally deleted it when I was editing and i couldn't fix it. You can add them after you start adding the broth. I did include them in the recipe though, thank you. ❤️
Thank you for this awesome video and for letting us know about the tomato paste and sugar. Is there a way to pin your comment to the top of the comments so it’ll be the first comment your viewers see? Thank you so much! I absolutely love your videos, I’ve learned so much. 😊🙏🏼
Thank You Rachel!
@@ilovetexas5399 I don't know how to do it, I posted on the comments but don't know if it's 1st on top.❤️
No worries!
Does it matter in what order to add. The tomatoe paste and sugar
I am just an old guy approaching 90. I love Rachel and her recipes. Keep them going Rachel.
Thank you so much for your comment my friend, I appreciate your support of my channel. ❤️
I’m white and my boyfriend is Mexican. He loves all of your recipes that I’ve tried. Finally I can cook authentic Mexican food for him. And I feel like I’m hanging out with a friend when I watch your videos. Much love Rachel !
Looks waterey no matter your race!
@@jeaninekisby8590 whens the last time you bought sauce? all i can find is like broth anymore.
I made Rachel’s Enchilada casserole last year with this sauce. It’s worth the effort!!! My family flipped over it. We live in Texas and until Rachel, I couldn’t compete with our favorite Mexican restaurants. She should have her own restaurant. LOVE Rachel❤️
Thank you so much for your commentand supportofmychannel, you made my day my friend. ❤️
@@rachelcookswithlove 😉
I watched you make your enchilada sauce and I am going to try it I usually can my enchilada sauce that I make from fresh tomatoes
NOOO if she had her own restaurant too many ppl would miss out on her awesome recipes.
@@berthamiller5507 oooh, I may can this as well.
I absolutely love how you go through every step and add details like "stir it so you don't get the skin on the sauce "... etc etc.. the little things like that are important to first time cooks
Hi Rache I made your enchilada sauce for the first time my family said wow this tastes so good they asked me where I bought it I said I didn't buy it I made it out of scratch I watch CZcams and I watch Rachel cooks with love I've made some your recipes and I always get compliments thank you Rachel so much for teaching me how to cook Mexican food keep up the good work and God bless
So happy to know this my friend...while editing, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did include them in the recipe list, I hope you saw it. Thank you so much. ❤️
I am Hungarian and when you said this is also how to make gravy my heart was so happy. That's how I was taught to make gravy from my mother. Thank you for the sweet memory.
Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing my friend. ❤️
Hi. I am always looking for gravy made from scratch. Do you add the chicken broth to the butter/oil/flour mixture and then let it thicken on the stove? Do you add salt & pepper or other seasonings?
@@shawnamattox2756Yes and yes. 😊
Hi Rachel,
I have made this enchilada sauce several times now. It is the best! I have kept it in the refrigerator overnight to let the flavors marry. Then I freeze it. It works just beautifully and I must say, it is nice having it already made up when you want to make a huge Mexican dinner. I thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and just heat it up to dip my enchiladas. It is just a fabulous sauce. There is nothing better. Thank you so much for this recipe. ❤
My family loves Rachel’s enchiladas. I didn’t realize how easy it is to make. It’s better than any restaurant.
One of the easiest and my go to recipe for enchilada sauce. My friend, I give this sauce 10 stars! Now I'm inspired to make enchiladas for Sunday dinner. I truly think it's time for you and your Ron to look at putting all your delicious recipes into a book. I know you'd have a best seller. Again, another recipe that hopefully all your viewers already have in their recipe boxes. May y'all just have the smoothest of rides toward the weekend. Bet it's getting really fall beautiful over there. Lots of love sent your way awesome Rachel.
Thank you so much for your comment dear friend, I hope to have a recipe book one day when I have the time. I appreciate your words of encouragement and thank you for always being supportive of my channel. Blessings my friend...while editing, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did include them in the recipe. ❤️
I would buy one in a heartbeat!!!💗
Simply amazing! Thank you Rachel ❤️
Rachel! My family loves your enchilada sauce, thank you ❤ for sharing your special gift.
I’ve made your enchilada casserole dish many times. It’s a favorite with my family. It’s the sauce that makes it so good.
I made this enchilada sauce to go with my beef burritos yesterday and it was the BEST enchilada sauce I have ever tasted!!!!! I followed your recipe except I didn't have Mexican oregano - just regular and it was delicious! My husband actually got seconds and he never gets seconds - that's how good it was. Thank you so much for this recipe. It's so simple yet so delicious!!!
Rachel, I enjoy watching your videos! You explain very well and have a soothing voice. Love to learn new ways to enhance the foods my family enjoys 😊
Looks so delicious 😋!!! Thanks for sharing your recipe, Rachel ❤️
I just made this sauce and it’s soooo good I could drink it… never…ever… will buy canned again! You’re right this deserves 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Racheal… you’re an amazing cook♥️♥️
Rachel, your enchilada sauce is the epitome of cooking with love. This recipe, I think, is essential to making the most perfect Mexican dishes. My family agrees 100%.
Thank you so much for your comment my friend, I agree.❤️

❤I love watching you cook. You are a natural. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.😊
I enjoy your videos. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much!
My husband doesn’t care for this type of food. I made both the enchiladas and the casserole for him. He LOVED them both. I even made them once with no meat. A big no no. I used black beans, onions and cheese. He liked those as well. Thank you Rachel. I now get to eat food I love!
Enchiladas are a casserole.
Enchiladas can be an acquired taste. I used to dislike them but now I’ve changed my mind. It’s not high on my list but there’s times when I crave them
WHAT ?
You didn't add sugar and tomato paste ?
Sounds like you need a new husband!
Love how you just get to the recipe! I've made this sauce twice now and getting ready to make a batch to take to the pool this summer. This is so much better than the restaurant near me, I don't even order enchiladas anymore, thank you Rachel!!
Can you triple the recipe
Rachel, you are a Great Teacher. Very patient and knowledgeable 🙏
Blessings from Houston♥️
Thank you, Rachel! I've been wanting to make enchilada sauce from scratch for a very long time. Your recipes are always amazing and I can't wait to make this one!
Rachel I had to come back to let you know how delicious this sauce was! I didn’t have the chicken broth, but I did have the Better Than Vegetable Bouillon and it still came out amazingly. Thank you so much for sharing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and Ron. This sauce will be a staple in my home!!!!
What a treat to have this recipe. Thank you Rachel! I'll be making some this weekend.
Thank you so much, while editing, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did include them in the recipe list in the description box. Thank you.❤️

So good Rachel!,I made this sauce along with your enchilada casserole and my husband and I loved it. It’s in my permanent rotation of recipes. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for your sweet words my friend, I appreciate your comment so much...while editing I did accidentally delete the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but you can add them right after you add some broth. Both ingredients are included in the recipe though.❤️
Love this sauce! I made it for my mum and she requested another jar of it. We love it in burritos, and adding flavor to any meat that's too bland. Thank you Rachel!
Rachel you're Enchilada sauce looks delicious! I can't wait to give it a try. Thank you for sharing!
Private chef here, looks good, good enough for me to copycat for a birthday dinner for enchiladas pollo roja. You know how to cook and the chemistry to why. Muy importatante! Ariba!!!
Thank you! I love the way you always explain why each step is important to the success of the dish. It makes such a difference, and is part of the love! 💕 Have a wonderful day, and God bless!

I think this recipe is wonderful. Looking forward to trying it. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you.🙂
Hi Rachel, I watch tons of cooking videos on CZcams but I always come back to yours. I appreciate how clear your instructions are and how you don’t waste time with a lot of chit chat. And you are pleasant to watch and to listen to. Keep up the great work!
All your food and recipes are fantastic. Don't stop making these. My husband is thankful so am I❤️

Thank you so much for your comment and support of my channel my friend. ❤️
It’s a pleasure to share time with you. Your voice is so calm, assured and comforting.
I’ve live too far away to even try to conquer Mexican cuisine, but I’m learning.
Your food and careful techniques are getting into another culture.
Thank you for sharing.
I completely agree that others that want to steal your good work should be ashamed…. AND UNCOVERED.
When I recognize your recipes being pirated I call them out. ❤
Wonderful! Can’t wait to try it. You are an excellent teacher! 💯💜
LOL Rachel, is on another Level of cooking... I've NEVER heard of anybody that makes their own Paprika or Chili Powder...that's Super Hero Chef stuff 🤩
You have no idea how much I needed this recipe. I'm making enchiladas this weekend. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your comment and support of my channel my friend...while editing I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did include them in the recipe list. Please go to the description box for notice. Thank you. ❤️

Hi Rachel! This is by far the BEST enchilada sauce I have ever had!! My families recipes don't even compare! Thank you for all the fun videos, you are my favorite cook now! Muchas gracias Siñorita! 💜

Thank you Rachel, my daughter Roz , made this morning. I loved it. Awesome delicious 😋
Looks like another ringer! Thank you Rachel.
Thank you so much my friend, while editing, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did include them in the recipe list. Thank you. ❤️
I have made Rachel's Beef Enchilada's and her Enchilada casserole using her enchilada sauce and it is more than a 5 star in my household. I love it and as I am sitting here I will be making me som Enchilada's tonight for dinner. I also made her Apple Fritter's for a sweet dessert. I took some to work and there were NONE left and we were all licking our lips and fingers. Love and blessings to you and your Ron.
Thank you so much for your comment my friend so happy you enjoy my channel, blessings. ❤️
My dear Rachel Thank you so much for your recipes. I made this yesterday and then followed your recipe for how to roll enchiladas without them breaking. I can finally make delicious enchiladas. Family loved them as much as I did.
I made this sauce for my Christmas Eve dinner and my wife (from Mexico) said it was outstanding!!!!! I sure agree with her! Thank you Gloria!
We had your enchiladas tonight. Will only make yours. Best we found.
As always this recipe looks delicious ! I do hope one day you put out a cookbook.😋😋💕
Thank you so much, I hope to have one one day.❤️
That’s such a great idea … it would make a big seller
I would buy it
Greetings! I just wanted to say I've kept the video/ recipe a long time but finally just now made it. Its tastes terrific! Thank you so much Rachel!
We love this sauce. Made chicken enchiladas and they were fantastic. Thank you, I never liked the canned sauce that I would buy from the grocery store. So easy to make and I have all the ingredients on hand. I watched your chicken enchilada video and followed your instructions. Not crowding the pan is so important. Thanks again. Your channel and Foodwishes are my favorites.
I didn’t see u add the sugar and tomato paste. Thank you so much for showing us how to make with powder chili, so much easier than soaking and grinding the pods.
Yes I know, I accidentally deleted it when editing, so sorry.❤️
You have nothing to apologize for, your cooking is amazing. I watch all your videos and I share with my family. You cook a lot like my mother did. That’s why I love watching you. God Bless Mijita.
@@rachelcookswithlove lol I was glad to see this note. I watched it two times on my smart tv and it does not let me see the comments. So I picked up my phone to see if I missed something. LOL. Thank you Rachel for your wonderful videos! 🙂
@@pattwhitmore8365 Needs to be cooked longer. Add a cup of water and let it simmer for at least thirty minutes on low until it thickens. Don’t over use the bullion, could sour the sauce.
@@rachelcookswithlove so do you need to add the sugar and tomato paste??
Thank you Rachel I will see again 👍🏼
Mr. Torres and Elena greatly enjoy watching your recipe videos because you explain everything step by step and you are very detailed. Thank you so much for being such an amazing teacher when it comes to preparing sauces and various foods. Can't wait to try more of your recipes. They are all so delicious!!! Thank you!!!
I love your videos and how you teach every recipe. Thank you so much.
Rachel, I made your enchiladas twice now and the sauce is so so delish. Today I am making double the sauce so I can freeze half. I'll let you know how that goes. LOVE YOU RACHEL!!
How did it taste after you froze it?
💁🏻♀️Thank you sooo very much for making your enchilada sauce...I made some from a past video and let me tell you IT'S EASY & DELICIOUS!!! I once used "chipotle chili powder"(🤢...I didn't care for it therefore I was disappointed as I desire traditional Mexican flavors) and I sincerely recommend using a chili powder you are familiar with the first time you make this
☝🏻Follow the instructions/directions Rachel gives you...from the ingredients such as Mexican Oregano and NOT Italian oregano to the way she layers the ingredients in stages because you are essentially building the sauce and it comes out perfectly😊👍🏻
I appreciate your comment so much my friend, what you said is true...while editing, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did include them in the recipe list. Thank you. ❤️
I want to thank you so very much for sharing and teaching me how to make this sauce . It is the absolute best!!! My whole family loves it . Thank you ma'am.
Omg it looks delicious. I love any kind of enchiladas. Thank you for sharing Ms. Rachel. 😊😊
You are such a classy lady . u present your self very eloquent.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment my friend. ❤️
Thank you….at what point do you add the sugar and tomato paste? I may have missed that step. Love your recipes.
While editing, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did add them with the recipe list and I also posted this in description box. (Add both after you add some broth)❤️
Excellent tutorial with easy to follow instructions. I'm adding this one to my collection. Thanks!
Another great recipe! Bravo Rachel :) Thank you!!!
💛Appreciate you so much beautiful lady💛
Thank you so much my friend, I appreciate your comment...while editing I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did include them in the recipe list. ❤️
I made this again, substituting white onions, garlic and unsalted chicken stock. Doubled the recipe because it went over so good. This is hands down the best red enchilada sauce I've ever had and I've traveled a lot. Anyone thinking about trying this just do it. Your favorite Mexican restaurant will miss you.
Hi Rachel, just wanted to send you BIG thanks for the best recipes I tried for my family’s new years lunch. We had a Mexican food feast and all of the recipes used were from you. We had enchiladas (chicken and cheese). Using your enchilada sauce of course. Corn casserole, refried beans, salsas, pico, beef tacos. Your instructions are perfect. I followed them to a tee and all was great. Thanks again Rachel😍
I loved your great tutorial. Thank you so much for the great content and teaching!
Hey Rachel, if I grew it, dried it and stored it AND I'm Mexican, is my home grown oregano "Mexican Oregano?" 🤔
I resemble that remark!
Only if it was Mexican oregano to begin with.😉
When did u add the sugar and tomato paste?
I can hardly wait to try this recipe, I love Mexican cuisine! Thank you!
Finally an authentic looking recipe for this sauce! I tried a recipe for enchiladas, and the sauce wasn't that good. I am sure yours will be delish! Thank you!❤
Great recipe! Did you forget the tomato paste?
In the description box, I noted that while editing, I accidentally deleted the part where I add the tomato paste and the sugar, but I did include them in the recipe list. I made a note of it in the description box. Thank you so much. ❤️
Can I substitute veg oil n use olive oil instead… n almond flour the other stuff I can use
So sorry I can't tell you since I've never tried it...thevolivevoil would change the flavor a little I think, and I have no idea what the almost flour would do. So sorry I couldn't help my friend. ❤️
@@rachelcookswithlove I’m on a keto diet if anyone else ask u use salted butter in place of ur oil. N counut flour in place of reg flour . Thanks
Thank you, Mrs. Rachel! I made this sauce for my beef enchiladas and it is truly FIVE STARS!! This recipe is far superior to any canned or packaged enchilada sauce, and so much better than any other recipe I've tried. Thank you again! Be well and be safe! 😊💖🙏
Rachel... thanks for another great video. I wrote out the recipe. Might help someone. (Let me know if I messed up anywhere and I'll fix it.)
Rachel's Enchilada Sauce
Ingredients/Shopping List (makes roughly 3 Cups)
Ingredients Amount (Prep) (Notes)
Butter 1 Tablespoon
Vegetable Oil 2 Tablespoons
All-Purpose Flour 3 Tablespoons
Chili Powder 1 ½ Tablespoons
Paprika 2 teaspoons
Onion Powder 1 teaspoon
Garlic Powder 2 teaspoons
Ground Cumin 1 teaspoon
Mexican Oregano ½ teaspoon (grind between palms before adding)
Granulated White Sugar ½ teaspoon
Chicken Broth 3 Cups
Knorr Chicken Bouillon 1 ½ teaspoons
Tomato Paste 2 teaspoons
Sea Salt A pinch (to taste)
Directions
Abbreviations - C - Cup, TB - Tablespoon, tsp - teaspoon
Prep Work (Before Starting to Cook)
Hint - Cooking goes much smoother if you measure out ingredients before starting.
Making Enchilada Sauce
In large skillet over Medium-Low heat, add butter (1 TB) and olive oil (2 TB). Melt butter.
Add all-purpose flour (3 TB) and mix continuously until “golden and smells nutty” to make a roux (for thicken sauce). Take your time and adjust heat as needed.
Reduce heat to Low and add chili powder (1 ½ TB). Mix continuously with roux (30 seconds).
Note - Lower heat more if needed so as not to burn roux and spices.
Add paprika (2 tsp) and mix continuously (30 seconds).
Add onion powder (1 tsp) and mix continuously (30 seconds).
Add garlic powder (2 tsp) and mix continuously (30 seconds).
Add cumin powder (1 tsp) and mix continuously (30 seconds). You should smell spices releasing their aromas.
Rub oregano (½ tsp) between palms and add to skillet. Mix continuously (30 seconds).
Add white sugar (½ tsp) (optional).
Add some of chicken broth (½ C to start) and mix thoroughly.
When chicken broth is mixed completely with roux/spices, repeat by adding more chicken broth (a little at a time) and thoroughly mixing.
Note - Take your time adding broth and mixing until all chicken broth is mixed in. It will be worth the effort.
Add chicken bouillon (1 ½ tsp) and tomato paste (2 tsp). Mix continuously (5 minutes) as sauce thickens.
Place a lid on skillet and simmer enchilada sauce over Low heat while stirring every few minutes (10-15 minutes).
Taste test and adjust seasoning (as needed).
Serving Enchilada Sauce
Use in cheese/beef/chicken enchiladas, for wet burritos/chimichangas or on tacos, quesadillas, eggs, etc.
I do think the sugar is important because it's a good balance, but it is optional...I always use vegetable oil because it doesn't change the flavor. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
@@rachelcookswithlove
@@rachelcookswithlove I made changes - Vegetable Oil and took optional off sugar. I made an educated guess on when to add sugar and tomato paste. If you need a cookbook writer/editor let me know. (fyi - I don't trust the vegetable oils in grocery stores - too many caustic chemicals used in production)
Thank you so much for writing out the recipe Greg. It's a great help! I think the tomato paste comes in just before the chicken broth?!
@@livij.9539 You're welcome. Tried to write it "with love."
