Rich and Flavorful Enchilada Sauce image

I came by this recipe completely by accident one day when I was making a red sauce for another Mexican-style dish, and when I tasted it I realized it was the perfect rich but mild enchilada sauce for me! Rich and flavorful, this one is a winner. It's fast and easy to make, and tastes much better than the canned variety. If you like your enchilada sauce spicier, add some minced jalapenos or some hot chili powder. I plan to do some canning this fall, and batches of this sauce in jars is on the list.

Time 10m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups boiling water
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules (*)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon butter
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes or 1/4 cup finely minced fresh yellow onion
1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder or 2 teaspoons minced roasted garlic
1 tablespoon dried ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon dry sherry
Tabasco sauce or your favorite hot sauce, to taste (I used somewhere between 1/4 to 1/2 tsp, cause I'm a whimp)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir together the boiling water and bouillon granules until dissolved.
  • Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Use in your favorite enchilada recipes!
  • *Note:I prefer using 1 tsp of Maggi Chicken with Chipotle bouillon cube and 1 tsp of Chicken and Tomato bouillon cube (in the international aisle, from Nestle products) instead of 2 tsp beef bouillon; please note that most Maggi bouillon cubes contain 2 tsps, so you'll be using half-cubes.
  • Makes about 4 cups (2 cups is usually enough for one batch of enchilada casserole).
