Enchiladas

Rockin Robin's Raving Enchilada Sauce

go here for the recipe Enchilada Sauce Recipe

makes about 2 cups 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
• 4 Tbs. Gebhardt Chile Powder
• 1 tsp. ground cumin
• 2 tsp. garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon (less than 1/16 tsp.)
• a little less than 1/2 tsp. sugar
• 3 Tablespoons plus 1/4 tsp. white flour
• 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:
First let's make a roux. In a 2 quart sauce pan add the oil over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, lower the heat to low and add the flour. Mix with a wire whisk for about 1 to 2 minutes stirring constantly. You want to see a little bubble going on. Then add the chile powder and whisk in till fully mixed.
Slowly pour in the 2 cups chicken broth. Turn the heat up to medium again and stir till fully mixed.
Add the cumin, garlic powder, salt, cinnamon and sugar (the sugar is a little secret to eliminate any bitter taste from the chile powder) stirring after each addition. Bring to a boil as you continue to stir.
Once boiling, stir and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
Turn off the heat, this enchilada sauce recipe is done.
You will notice that as this sauce sits it will form a "skin" on the surface. This is normal and in fact the longer the sauce sits the thicker this skin becomes. All you have to do is peel the skin off and throw it away.
As you can see, this enchilada sauce recipe is very quick to make.

Enchilada Sauce

1. Brown Hamburger with onion and other spices you choose to use. Then mix some sauce with the beef.

2.  I like to use a cast iron skillet and a little olive oil and heat my tortilla 15 seconds each side on medium.

3.  Then I add the hamburger mix and cheese to the tortillas.

4.  Fold enchiladas and place in a greased glass pan.

5.  Heat over to 350 and bake for 15-17 minutes or until cheese is melted.
