How To Make Canned Enchilada Sauce Taste Homemade
By Camryn Teder
Keeping a can of enchilada sauce on hand is a great idea, and with a few extra ingredients, your canned enchilada sauce can easily pass as homemade.
With some butter, flour, and chicken stock, this trifecta of ingredients will infuse a canned enchilada sauce with a satisfyingly thick texture and a rich, savory flavor.
Canned sauce is often thin, so making a roux by combining equal parts butter and flour can really help elevate your dish by thickening the sauce.
Once the canned enchilada sauce is mixed with your roux, add some chicken broth for an extra hearty flavor, creating an especially well-rounded dish.
This simple addition adds just five minutes to the cooking process, resulting in a restaurant-quality enchilada sauce.
