Spoon half the veggie filling over the tortillas, and top with half of the remaining sauce and 1 1/2 cups cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, veggies, sauce and cheese. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes, until the filling is bubbling. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting, then serve.

Brilliant. Made for the parents who love enchiladas! New fave! 
Thank you for the recipe!

The recipe is great except it definitely needs more sauce!

Used thighs instead of breasts, seasoned those with salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin and chili powder. Cut the recipe down because there's only two of us, and upped the sauce to suit our saucy desires. Store bought sauce and tortillas, but babe never minds. I should have made more filling, but my wrap game is terrible and I hesitated, causing them to be slightly underfilled, but this isn't a recipe issue, it's a me issue. The heat in the enchilada itself was just enough, and this very well may become my go to (after lazy enchiladas, of course, which is a few steps shorter than this). Nice.

Loaded Chicken Enchiladas are made with shredded chicken, rice, beans, corn, bell pepper, and onion mixed in a creamy sauce and topped with cheese and homemade enchilada sauce.

These Enchiladas Rojas are an authentic recipe made with lightly fried corn tortillas dipped in a delicious red sauce. Add your favorite filling, garnish with cheese, crema, onion and lettuce for the final touch. 

Authentic Enchiladas Rojas

guajillo mexico peppers

ancho chile

¼ of a large yellow or red onion

garlic clove

black pepper

stock (vegetable, beef,

vegetable oil

tomato sauce

enchilada sauce

oil tortillas

queso fresco,

Shredded lettuce (romaine

queso fresco

radishes

Remove all seeds and stem from the peppers then rinse under cold water to remove any dust.

In a medium pot, add the chiles, onions and garlic clove. Add enough water to cover the chiles.

Cover and cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes or until very soft and pliable. Rest chiles in the water for another 10 to 15 minutes to cool off and finish hydrating the chiles.

Transfer chiles to a blender or food processor and add 2 cups broth. Puree for about 1 minute. Note: you can do this in two different batches if the blender isn&#39;t big enough for all the ingredients at once.

Strain the pureed chiles to remove the remaining seeds and skins (tip: push the chile mix with a spoon to get the most out of them).

In a large saucepan, heat the 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the pureed chiles and tomato sauce. Cook, stirring often for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.

Make The Enchilada Sauce

Add about ¼ cup of oil to a small or medium skillet. Heat on medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot (but not smoky), add one tortilla at the time and cook each side for about 4 to 5 seconds or until tortilla is lightly fried (See notes section)

As you fry each tortilla, drain any excess oil by tapping it into the pan then place on a plate with a paper towel. Repeat with remaining tortillas and add more oil if necessary. 

To assemble the enchiladas rojas, dip each tortilla into the warm sauce and place on the serving plates.

Fill with your favorite filling. In this case we&#39;re using crumbled queso fresco but you can use shredded chicken, beef, beans or your favorite cooked vegetables.

Either fold the tortilla like a taco or roll them as pictured below. I like to add a little more sauce on top for extra flavor.

Sprinkle with queso fresco and other toppings you choose. I like to squeeze some lime juice to balance all of the flavors.

Buen provecho!

Make The Enchiladas Rojas

I've read the recipe many times where does the stock come in for the red chili sauce? There is no step for it.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Thank you for sharing your recipe! I will NEVER use store-bought again!

I will never buy enchilada sauce again. This recipe turned out amazing!

Just made these Enchiladas Rojas—so rich and comforting! The red sauce is everything. 🌶️🫓❤️

Incredible salsa roja. These enchiladas are delightful. Making again this weekend!

We loved these and are making again this week!!

Loved how quick it came together once the sauce was done—really satisfying.

Thank You …Truly Authentic .. We all Loved your recipe and the Aromas throughout our home ❣️🪇

I love your instructions for making the sauce.   I used to make it very similarly with my mom.  Have you ever tried lightly roasting the chile pods before boiling?  We would use a low temp in the oven being careful not to burn.  Filling with calabacitas!  Brilliant!

This is exactly what I was craving…. A recipe with a sauce made from the chiles onward. So good. So authentic. I went multicultural and served them with a Salvadoran style curtido. (Kisses tips of fingers)
