Dry Enchilada Sauce Mix Substitute

"I came across a recipe recently that called for dry enchilada mix but I couldn't find it at the store. I searched around a bit and eventually came up with this recipe to use in its place. One recipe is the equivalent of a 1.5 oz package."

Questions & Replies

  1. If I add 1-1/2 cups of tomato sauce to the mix, how much dry mix do I use per 8 oz. of sauce?
     
  2. What do you mix it with? Tomato sauce and how much?
     
  3. How much water/oil do you add/cook together with the spice mix?
     
  4. Is there any ingredient other than chili powder, paprika, cornstarch and salt in this recipe. My computer cut off something g from the bottom of the recipe

  1. I haven't tried this yet, however, I would assume you can use it as you would a 1.5 oz packet of seasoning. To make this into a sauce, you should be able to add 1 1/2 cups water and 8 oz tomato sauce. Bring to boil in small saucepan and boil 1 minute, then simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened. Use as directed in your enchilada recipe.
     
  2. Made for PAC Spring 2009. Other than the fact that I wasn't sure how to use this (I used about 1 cup of water and an 8 oz can of tomato sauce), this was awesome. Even DH commented on how good it was ~ he usually doesn't comment much unless he really likes something. I do have my own enchilada sauce recipe posted, but it is time consuming. Will definitely make then when I'm time crunched. Would be a great recipe to make up in advance so you have it on hand. Thanks for posting this Flower!
     
  3. Made this instead of our chicken enchilada casserole for tonight' dinner. So far it has exceeded my expectations. Delicious enough i have caught my child sampling more than twice! Thank you.
     
  4. This is a great mix of spices. I used it to do beef fajitas. Thanks flower :) Made for PAC Spring 2012
     
  5. Made this last night......VERY AWESOME!!!! I used 1 cup water and an 8 oz can of tomato sauce- then simmered for 3 or 4 minutes. I will be making small mason jars of this mix to give at Christmas time. Thanks for this great recipe!

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
