Enchilada sauce by grandma liz

[3puttdog]

Omg is it refreshing to see homemade enchilada sauce being made - the right way. Reminds me too of my times in the kitchen with my gradma and mom - making this, fideo, carnitas, mole, rice, beans, etc... If you're using can sauce, I feel for you - cuz you are missing out - especially on the family time, can't beat it.

[starlite556]

I search for a long time for a sauce like this. Thank you .

[mindfield7]

Awesome! Thanks for this!

[kern0099]

Yeah, thank you Grandma Liz!

[olivas63]

She's a sweetie pie.

[GuyJon57]

that was nice of you to spend time with your grandma.... nice future memorie... thanks for sharing...

[sinde0214]

This makes me miss my grandma. She passed away a few years ago, but her spirit is still with us every time we are in the kichen! <3

[Cosasbebe1]

what a treat, thank you for sharing your recipe and your grandma with us. This is a very smart Idea! We buy the chillis dried and we have to soak them and its a pain in the but for me and my sisters; but since its powdered it makes it much easier and quicker to use, thank you thank you, i cant believe non of my relatives thought of this before .. Gracias

[watsonvillian]

Always pay attentions to grandma's recipes. One day you will be able to make it yourself for everyone. Thanks for the upload. Does your gram like to use the dried chile's too? I have always used those and not the powdered. I am considering the chile powder too now though since seeing this. Thanks.

[kritikalmass7]

finally someone who knows what they're doing!! great job, keep it up

[emailastro]

I have been looking for the recipe for the orange colored sauce for awhile now. This is the only one I found. It is made totally different from the deep red sauce. Thank your Grandma Liz for sharing and you for posting.

[bigbubba8888]

i been watching how to make red enchilada sauce all day on you-tube about 60 of them she was the only one that keep tasting it making sure it was season perfect. she is a true cook. the sauce looked great.

[Rhianimator]

The most important ingredient in this recipe you cannot see. It's the love.

[MustGrill]

This is a great video a roux and it makes a great chili sauce. I have done this many times. But if you have the time to make it from scratch, try this way. mustgrill

Guy's be nice. Until you have been around the planet 2 times you have no idea.

[zylawyapz]

I don't like alternative enchilada sauce

[NoMoreVanilla]

It's fun to watch an experienced home cook.  Not surprisingly, her grandson was focused on getting the exact quantities, but she doesn't measure. She watches the texture to know when she has the right proportions. That's particularly true on the first step: making a light roux. It doesn't matter what fat you use--a roux can be made with butter, oil, lard or shortening--the secret is the proportion of fat to flour and careful temperature control. It's all about technique, and she's got it.

i just like to add that for my enchilada filling diced potato's taste very good with this kind of enchilada. i put a nice sized potato in a pot of water on high. when it starts to boil bring the temp. down to medium. let it tenderize for 15 minutes on medium. take the potato out, first let it cool down....then chop up potato in small cubes, about the size of a dice. when you're done chopping add the potato to your meat. mix real good and let it tenderize until the potato is soft.

[funkmex]

wow some of these comments have gotten pretty rude since the last i checked about a year ago. ever heard of respect your elders? people have their own ways of cooking food. just because someone makes food different than the way that was taught to you doesn't make it less authentic. my grandma's (RIP) recipe was similar to how this woman makes her enchilada sauce minus the flour. my grandma was from mexico, salamanca, GTO to be exact.

[cynthiagonzales98]

It reminds me of my grandma lol she always tries to teach me her recipes but there are never measurements lol she just tells me "you'll know"

[cynthiagonzales98]

@ 13moocher....plain and simple you are a douchebag.....yeah nothing more to say.

[13moocher]

@realbeereels ??? This CRAP is enchilada sauce as made my thousands of American's of Southwestern Mexican (Spanish and Native American). I suppose you prefer the CANNED crap, If it works for you, the canned crap: GREAT!!!

[TheBingggg]

I wish I had a Grandma Liz. I lost my Grandma and never got or learned her Mexican recipes. Keep up the good work and document all her cooking. I bet she has many more just as good.

[speedamagooch]

To those of you who are making rude comments, why don't you go eat some of that canned crap you're so used to.

There are three things I love about this video: 1. The love in the kitchen between generations. 2. The simplicity of authentic cooking. 3. The valiant effort to work with Grandma to ensure the proper amounts of ingredients necessary to remember this particular sauce.

Thank you for sharing this intimate video. It's heartwarming to hear a Grandson speak so gently to his Grandma.

[aquariusdawning]

Grandma Liz says "measuring spoons? I don't need no stinking measuring spoons". Gracias Grandma Liz.

[wyldangelk]

Tell Grandma Liz thank you! My last attempt at making enchilada sauce was a disaster - and I'm mexican...lol. I followed this and they came out perfect!

[turtlecruiser76]

I want a Grandma Liz.

[johnnhb1]

[jakestud2]

[xxdjcharlierockxx]

[MrFrankblack2010]

[whittyree1987]

[hlieboff59]

can you please list the ingredients...please!!! I've been dying for authentic enchilada sauce. thanx,

[aminesinger]

Thanks grandma Liz. I have tried for over 20 yrs to get this sauce right and thanks to you  my family is enjoying them. Do you have anymore recipes on u tube?

[bmc510]

right on, I just saw a European lady making "authentic" enchiladas. lmao ur granmda makes it so much closer to how i use to cook at the mexican restaurant. I'm mexican tell grandma I said yummy.

[asmoxbaby]

Looks good..unfortunately I have been using canned. BAD BAD. Nice job Liz

[imismysis]

I can't get the name of the chili clear from the video. What is the name again and in case they don't have the exact kind do u have an alternative chili?

[imismysis]

Finally, a recipe for the sauce like at the resturants! Thank you so much. I always wanted to no how to make it. Great video! You should do more videos-like a salsa video. Thanks again!

[mickeyl01]

So when are you going to show us how to make enchiladas?

[mickeyl01]

Do you have to use lard?

[herrera101]

you could also use shortening i'm not sure about vegetable oil.

[bookhound63]

@mickeyl01 You can use shortening, oil or butter. The standard measurement is equal parts fat and flour. This is the base for almost all gravies, and many sauces, it is called a roux. If you learn to make this base you can make anything from enchilada sauce, to chicken pot pie filling, to dark gravy (by browning the roux.)

[YadhiraZ]

OMG! So thats how you make the enchilada sauce from the chile de polvo.

[NinaSmiles81]

not the best "how to" video but I think it was funny and cute so u get five stars from me. :)

[TeacherPHD]

good sauce

[lissettetamez2]

this is how we make it in texas! no tomato in red chili! =o) that's what I love about this vid it's just how I make my sauce.

[elladez]

Thank you Hererra & Liz. You both make a great team. :)

[alacranese]

esa muejr no save cosinar esas no es salsa jajaajj cosina como las negras ajajajajajajajaja

[Savvrawr]

I just made this earlier this week and made Enchiladas with it. Very tasty!

This one is a keeper in my book.

Thanks G-ma Liz and herrera101 for posting this.

\o/

[Savvrawr]

Is this for making enchiladas? IE: is this enchilada sauce? Thanks for the video!

[herrera101]

this video shows how to make the red chile to put on the enchiladas. but i call it a sauce she adds cheese.

[Savvrawr]

Thanks, going to make it this weekend!

[miavonni]

god i miss my mom! give ur grandma a big hug! tell her u love her ! this vid makes me think of home in the 80s!!

[prettyhawkz]

Authentic, but very navajo.. loll thanks for the videoi loved it!!

[prettyhawkz]

Looks very awesome!!

[prettyhawkz]

With a name like Herrera it has to be vvery authentic. Do you have any other videos on how to make the original enchiladas??

[snaedwiev]

With all respect, great recipe, but it is not healthy to use hot water from the tap, because of all the sediments that are in it from the water heater.

the heated water from a pan that was mentioned is a much better idea

Thank you for the demonstration though! :-)

[reflux51]

I love the giggles in the background. Albertsons brand.lol

[JoadJoVae]

Hey! Invite me over sometime when you are having this, it looks delicious!

[YepperDudeNM]

Im from Las Cruces, New Mexico and I have never seen Enchilada Sauce made that way! Im sure it is delicious, don't get me wrong... This is just another way to prepare Mexican Red Enchiladas! Over here we boil, strain and get the sauce straight from the pods! Thanks!

[jazzyjen37]

I was thinking the same thing! I love how she adds cheese to the sauce though. "It doesn't make a difference what brand it is!" LOL

[Kgarcia607]

(YepperDudeNM) hey do you know where on the net I can get a recipe on how to make authentic Mexican Red Enchiladas? Let me know if you do and if it's no bother to you. Thanks:)

[shair00]

yes, your way is awesome too!!

[love9boy]

Thanks...I'm from Texas and live in Iowa. I miss authentic mexican sauces. Thanks for the lesson! I'll try it.
