Enchilada sauce recipe?
I’ve had enchiladas a few times, but never made any myself. Sort of have an idea of what flavors I want. Some recipes I’ve seen start with a roux, which sounds like a good idea.

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I like that one too.
For a white enchilada sauce, I like this one, with more green chilies

If your grocery store carries frontera stuff, definitely try it. Great stuff. If not we will send you some.Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle

I kind of just wing it when I make a red enchilada sauce. Please use dried chilies instead of chili powder. It makes a freat deal of difference in my opinion.Coleman, Texas

Here is Huntley Dent's red enchilada sauce (from Feast of Santa Fe, probably my most valuable cookbook):
2 Tblspns oil
3 Tblspns finely-chopped onion
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/4 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
2 Tblspns flour
1/2 cup powdered chile (NOT chili powder)
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
Heat oil, add onion, once transluscent add next 4 items. Combine chile w/water with a whisk until smooth, add to frying items. Salt to taste.
BotchNotes™:
- Rather than oil, I begin with rendered bacon fat (which I save in a 28-oz can from my breakfast bacon drippings); not traditional but delicious
- I usually add the flour, and the chile powder, to the oil up front
- To use dried red whole chiles, stem and seed about 5-6, cut into 2" squares (kitchen scissors work better than the sharpest knife) and toast in a dry frying pan until fragrant, throw in a blender with 2.5 cups boiling water, let steep 20 minutes, then blend on high and push through a fine screen strainer (fun as hell to mix/match different whole dried chiles here!)
- I usually use more garlic, and sometimes grate the onion on a box grater
For enchiladas, I also prefer frying the corn tortillas in more of my saved bacon grease; again, not traditional, but its delicious and (hah!) economical!
Dammit, know what I'm making for meals this coming weekend._____________"The reason I go out with young men is because men my age or older — well, now they’re all dead."

I am going to have to copy down that recipe Botch. I dried a lot of peppers this year and I have a giant jar of Ancho powder. I can pep it up with some of my died Chocolate Habaneros, I have a grinder.
