Baklouti Green Chili Chicken & Cheese Enchiladas Recipe
Enchilada Sauce Ingredients:
2 tablespoons Reese & Riley’s Baklouti Green Chile Pepper Fused Olive Oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (GF is fine)
1/4 cup chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
Directions:
Step 1:
Cook the roux and spices: Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly.
Step 2:
Add in the chili powder, garlic powder, cumin and oregano and cook for 1 more minute, whisking constantly. Gradually pour in the stock, whisking constantly to combine until no lumps remain.
Step 3:
Continue cooking until the sauce reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low to maintain the simmer (the sauce should continue lightly bubbling) for about 10-15 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Step 4:
Set aside to cool slightly while making the filling.
