Enchilada Sauce

May 16, 2016 Mckenzie Hettman

I know it probably seems like a lot of extra work to make your own enchilada sauce, but it only takes about 10- 15 minutes and is SO worth it. The flavor from the sauteed onion, jalapeno, and garlic blended with fresh spices tastes a million times better than any store-bought jar I've ever tried. Last week I bought a rotisserie chicken from whole foods and filled some tortillas with that, black beans, avocado, fresh cilantro, and spinach. We drenched the rolled tortillas with this red sauce and sprinkled a little Monterrey jack cheese on top. The end result was to die for! They were absolutely delicious and totally filling. Next up: green enchilada sauce! 


Prep time: 5 minutes | Cook time: 7 minutes | Total time: 15 minutes | Yields: 1 quart of red enchilada sauce


Ingredients

  • 2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
  • 4 large garlic cloves, diced 
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • EVOO
  • 28 oz jar of tomato sauce 
  • 3 TBSP chili powder 
  • 1 TBSP cumin 
  • salt and pepper to taste 

Method

  1. Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and discard the seeds. Dice the jalapenos, garlic cloves, and onion. 
  2. Drizzle a little EVOO in a large skillet then place the skillet on medium heat. Add the jalapeno, onion, and garlic to the oil and saute for 5-7 minutes or until the onions are translucent and fork-tender. 
  3. Place the sauteed veggies and jar of tomato sauce in a blender. Blend until smooth (about 30 seconds to a minute).
  4. Stir chili powder, cumin, and salt and pepper into the sauce. Use immediately for enchiladas or store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

I wasn’t planning on sharing my #bestnine but my heart melted a little when I saw that it was all pictures of my family! So sweet that my family was “liked” more than all the food pics. ❤️❤️
Follow your heart.
I remember when the office was still running and EVERYONE said they had a love like Jim and Pam. From the beginning Brian and I always said we were more like Michael & Holly.. Several years later and a couple beet farmers later, I think we're identifying more with Dwight & Angela😂 #bearsbeetsbattlestargalactica
Do you have a food you eat several times a week, every week? For us, it's this simple arugula salad😍 All you need is a heaping bowl of arugula (my favorite green), shaved Parmesan, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, cracked pepper, and course sea salt. #simplefancy
My garden is growing like crazy which means salad season isn't over yet❤️🥗

Huckleberry scones😋 #summereats
This weekend was absolutely blissful🖤 For Huck's first camping trip, we went to the mountain and set up camp nestled in a field of wild Huckleberries. I mean how cute is that?! It was the coolest thing to have thousands of wild berries surrounding us and the view of Mount Adams was stunning!
I'm dreaming of fall after the last few days of cooler weather and even some rain! Definitely looking forward to the food more than anything😊 This delicata squash and kale salad with maple vinaigrette is the reason fall foods are so pretty🍁
