Enchiladas are one of my favorite dishes to make. I make more of a Tex-Mex style enchilada which consists of 4 main components. That is corn tortillas, meat (beef or chicken), cheese and the sauce. By sauce, I mean "The Red Sauce". Usually most use a seasoning packet, with added water and tomato sauce or even use the stuff out of cans. Well I am not one to use canned or packaged enchilada sauce, but I won't shame those who do. I'm not a food snob and understand the convenience of using premade ingredients. Enchilada red sauce can be tricky especially if you don't know where to start. Well you're in luck! I have a recipe that's a good place to start. If you want to see how I make my enchiladas and red sauce, click the YouTube icon below. Happy cooking!

Thank you for this wonderful, authentic recipe - it tastes just like I remember. Funny enough, I found it after finally getting a small TV for my kitchen, where I now watch recipes like yours on YouTube. I was actually looking for an onn electronics phone number to order it, wanting something to keep me company while I cook. Simmering this sauce with a favorite show in the background has become my new happy place. You’ve truly made our weeknight dinners something special.
Loved your tamale making video.
Can't wait to try some of your recipes. Think I'll start here with the sauce.
Thank you.
