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

Published 2022-09-14
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...I did include them in the recipe though, thank you. ❤️
  • I am just an old guy approaching 90. I love Rachel and her recipes. Keep them going Rachel.
  • @crystalturken
    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 !
  • 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

    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❤️
  • 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 YouTube 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

    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. ❤
  • 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.
  • @hannaperu4431
    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.
  • @RM-lx4wx
    My family loves Rachel’s enchiladas. I didn’t realize how easy it is to make. It’s better than any restaurant.
  • @user-lm7ey6no8u
    FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! great flavor, easy to make and yes, 5 stars!
  • @richardvtagle
    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.
  • 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!
  • @sparkymcneil7359

  • 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%.
  • Hi Rachel, I watch tons of cooking videos on YouTube 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!
