-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup chili powder
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
-
1 cup water or chicken broth
-
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
-
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with Casa de S.A. Tex-Mex Seasoning and sour cream
-
Prepare the Sauce:
-
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
-
Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute until the mixture turns a light golden color. This forms the roux that thickens the sauce.
-
Add chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the roux. Stir to combine and cook for another 30 seconds to toast the spices.
-
Slowly whisk in the tomato sauce and water (or chicken broth) until smooth.
-
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
-
Stir in the vinegar and sugar (if using). Adjust seasoning as needed.
-
Let the sauce cool slightly before using. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for longer storage.
-
Notes: You can adjust the heat level by using more or less chili powder or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend it after cooking.
-
Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Warm the tortillas in the skillet, about 30 seconds per side. Spread a small amount of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place a portion of the chicken mixture in each tortilla, roll up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Top with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and sliced black olives if desired. Serve with salsa on the side.
