Best 6 Copycat Lawrys Enchilada Sauce Recipes

COPYCAT LAWRY'S® SEASONED SALT

Steps:

• Whisk salt, sugar, paprika, turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder, and cornstarch together in a bowl.

LAWRY'S SEASONED SALT (COPYCAT)

Steps:

• NOTE: I RECOMMEND USING MORTON POPCORN SALT AND TRADEWINDS BRAND GROUND CELERY SALT, BOTH SOLD AT SMART & FINAL. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT COLOR RESULT FROM LAWRY'S BRAND DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF OLEORESIN, A COLORING AGENT.
• MEASURE all BASE MIXTURE ingredients into a small bowl.
• COMBINE until well blended.
• ADD all HERBS AND SPICES ingredients to BASE MIXTURE in bowl.
• STIR and press with a fork for at least 2 minutes to release and infuse the essences between the spices.
• STORE spice mixture in a tightly sealed container to preserve freshness (spice mixture actually improves after 30 days and becomes even more authentic due to the infusion between all of the herbs and spices).
• ENJOY as a seasoning for your favorite foods.

DRY ENCHILADA SAUCE MIX SUBSTITUTE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together and store in airtight container.

ENCHILADA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions and garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, bouillon cube and some salt and pepper and cook until the spices darken and their flavors are released, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, stir to combine and cook it for another minute. Add the stock and stir to combine, then allow the liquid to thicken. Add the tomato sauce and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce is nice and thick and reduced by about a third, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then use an immersion blender to completely puree the sauce until smooth. (Alternatively, you can transfer it to a blender to puree it; just make sure the sauce is cooled, as blending hot liquids is dangerous!)
• The sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week and can also be frozen! Just reheat the sauce in a saucepan or skillet for whatever recipe calls for it.

THE LAST RED ENCHILADA SAUCE YOU'LL NEED

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients in a small bowl.
• Stirring constantly, slowly add enough of the water to make a thin paste.
• Pour into pan and add rest of water.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens.
• Stir in tomato sauce.
• Use in your favorite enchilada recipe.
• The amounts on the ingredients are very flexible.
• For instance, if I am feeding my kids who do not like"spicy", I will halve the chili powder and double the tomato sauce.
• Experiment to suit your taste, but don't leave out the cocoa.

LAWRY'S CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and cook onion, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in chicken, tomato sauce, tomatoes, chilies, and Lawry's® Taco Spices & Seasonings. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered 15 minutes.
• In prepared baking dish, arrange 4 tortillas. Evenly spread 1/3 of the chicken mixture over tortillas. Top with 1/3 of the olives and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat layers 2 times, ending with cheese.
• Bake 30 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted. Serve, if desired, with hot cooked Mexican rice and a tossed green salad.
