Directions
Authentic Tex-Mexican Enchiladas, Authentic enchilada recipe from San Antonio. The Enchilada Gravy recipe will make 3 quarts so use as much as you like then refrigerate or freeze the rest. Cook time includes time to make Enchilada Gravy and Chili con Carne. Prep time is the time to make the Enchiladas. Enchiladas can be frozen fully assembled then thawed and heated in the oven. This recipe looks complicated but it is so easy, just throw everything into two pots and simmer while rolling up the tortillas! Substitute store-bought enchilada sauce for the Tex-Mex lovers, the enchilada gravy is some heavy stuff!, I am a 6th generation Texan and 3rd generation San Antonian. If youre looking for an authentic Tex-Mex enchilada gravy recipe, dont use this one. First theres no reason to make 3 quarts unless youve tried the recipe and love it. There is way way too much flour, and you dont put beans in or on enchiladas. This might appeal to people totally unfamiliar with TexMex but this is neither Mexican nor TexMex., How do you soften corn tortillas so that they don’t turn to mush or tear easily?
