Improved Canned Enchilada Sauce
An easy way to make the canned stuff taste like the restaurant style sauce
Ingredients
- 1 10 oz can commercial red enchilada sauce
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 cup stock (veggie, beef, chicken)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When melted and slightly browned add the flour.
- Stir the flour until cooked and starting to brown slightly. (you want the flour taste cooked out)
- Stir in the can of enchilada sauce and the stock. Add in the salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Keep warm until ready to serve over enchiladas.
Notes
This can be frozen and reheated. I like to make a big batch at one time and freeze my leftovers.
