It’s very important to me is that I enjoy my favorite foods guilt-free. ‘Cuz who needs that guilt?! One of the first steps towards that is staying away from over-processed foods whenever possible. The easiest way to do it is by preparing your meals at home and so you can always choose the ingredients that are best for you.

Next time someone tells you that cooking at home takes a lot of time and effort, invite them to dinner and make them enchiladas with this delicious 10 Minute Homemade Enchilada Sauce.

“It took you just 10 Minutes to whip this up?” Yes, yes it did.

So, enchiladas anyone?

How To Make Homemade Enchilada Sauce

OMG please please PLEASE make your own enchilada sauce. It’s unreal good and makes SUCH a difference in the flavor and texture of your enchiladas. Plus it literally will take you 10 extra minutes to make and doesn’t require a ton of ingredients.  I used to use the canned stuff and, now, I’m a total homemade enchilada sauce convert.

Here’s how to make homemade enchilada sauce:

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the fresh tomatoes and garlic, and stir to combine and reduce heat to medium. Stir constantly and cook for 4-6 minutes, until the tomatoes become softened.

Stir in the tomato paste, low sodium chicken broth, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, oregano, sea salt, pepper into the skillet, and continue to cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. 

Transfer to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Done!

WHAT IS IN ENCHILADA SAUCE?

You mean other than that pure deliciousness?

When it comes to the thick, rich sauce you pour all over your enchiladas, you can easily customize it to your own delight. Traditionally, enchilada sauce is made of chilies, tomatoes, and a whole variety of seasonings. It can be red, like this homemade enchilada sauce, or it can be green, like this salsa verde.  But really, the choice is all yours!

IS RED OR GREEN ENCHILADA SAUCE HOTTER?

The key difference between red and green enchilada sauce is that one is made from red chilies and the other from green chillies. With some exceptions, the red enchilada sauce is usually hotter than the green one, but it all depends on the chilies. Depending on the chilies used, both green and red enchilada sauce can range from mild to really hot.

As written, this homemade red enchilada sauce is not spicy at all, but it can be made more spicy if you added in hot red chilies or cayenne pepper.
