When making Enchiladas at home, homemade enchilada sauce is one of the first things we make. Forget the canned sauce as it’s tasteless, just icky and you dont know what it contains. Why chose the canned stuff when you can make better and tasty stuff in under 10 minutes? Before my dearest hubby R1 can go to the store and come back with a canned sauce, I can make my own at home – it’s SO easy ready in 10 minutes.
This is a simple sauce to make for casseroles, beans and the likes of enchiladas This one has been in my collection for many years and I have always tweaked few ingredients here and there . I make a generous amount and store it in my fridge or freeze it too for future use as I end up making a lot of Mexican food at home.
We love Tex-Mex recipes and Mexican food is one of my favorite types of food to eat when I’m going out to eat.This Enchilada sauce is perfect to spread on your favorite Mexican food, like of course veggie Enchilada, chicken Enchilada, Casseroles, soups, tex-mix pizzas and a whole lot more.
If you are a Mexican cuisine lover like me and my family and like to enjoy cook at home too. Here is a list of some of my favorite Tex-mix recipes from the blog to help you keep trying new stuff.

A good enchilada sauce is always welcomed. I am Mexican and we do not use oat flour as a thickening agent but sounds like a good idea.
