Enchiladas Recipes

Coyote Enchiladas

Enchiladas Recipes can take many forms. Seafood, vegetarian, cheese and beef. But what if you're in a hurry? Make these enchiladas recipes in 30 minutes or less! Read how.

These quick and easy enchiladas are the best. And they are the perfect simple meal for two. I warn you though, that they break with tradition and if you are not a rule breaker, stop reading!

I was a busy father not too long ago and feeding kids was tough with my long hours. This recipe is a father's desperate attempt to juggle work, family and quality food.

In the middle of the week, when the final straw may be to cook a meal, I had to come up with something. Yes, it had to be good, but it also had to be quick. In some circles this simple meal is called School Night Enchiladas.

If you have more time, go ahead and make this wonderful chicken enchilada recipe . You can even use blue corn tortillas!


You should know that New Mexican cuisine is more than enchiladas recipes and aromatic flavors filling the kitchen. For the most part they are very simple cooking recipes. Meal time isn't simply about the food, but infuses the lifestyle. It's the unhurried gathering of family and if they knew I was promoting hastily prepared enchiladas, I might very well be banned from future seating at their table.

As a young man, enchiladas were a celebratory meal. Served for graduations, birthdays, my grandmother would painstakingly start the red chile early in the morning. Nobody was allowed into her kitchen until she was ready for us. She'd chop onions, press garlic and fry tortillas until, finally, stage one was complete. Calling in the troops, we'd form an assembly line to dip tortillas in red chile. My sister would carefully fill each with ground beef, onions and cheese and I would roll and place them strategically in a pan.

In New Mexico, enchiladas are prepared flat, in layers and smothered with chile. Tradition calls for a fried egg served on top, so you can see why my elders won't be entirely thrilled with my desperate creation. Still, I have the trump card that wasn't available to them.

I make one of the best enchilada sauces on the planet and only this is going to save me from the kitchen gallows. Like with all of our recipes, this will take you thirty minutes or less.

Making Enchilada Sauce

Enchiladas recipes shouldn't be difficult to make. Like with any meal, a recipe should free you to spend time with your family and friends. Let us show you how, you just need to buy the right sauce!

We had a nice review on our sauce by a noted Recipe and Hot Sauce Blog. One of the tasters picked up our Enchilada sauce at the Fiery Foods Show and apparently they also loved it.

Read about the Coyote Trail enchilada sauce review Enchiladas recipes are passed from generation to generation and can't get any better than ours. We'll even teach you to make your own sauce.

How do we make such a great Enchilada Sauce?

We start with the dried red chile from the Hatch Valley. Sure, we could use the old packaged stuff on the supermarket shelves, but this isn't the way we roll at New Mexico Chile Company.

Our chile is smooth and silky. Like Cheech and Chong used to say, there are no stems and no seeds.

To get chile powder like this is rare. It is time consuming to process and we buy our red chile powder one year in advance.

We also sell it, if you'd like to try some.

The Best Enchilada Sauce

We bottle our sauce in 150 gallon batches. The consistency has to be just right and the only surprise we ever encounter is the heat level. We've learned that chiles, like people, are just different every year. Sometimes they are sizzling hot and other times, they are a little more timid. So when creating your enchiladas recipes, be aware that the chile coule be hotter than expected. Yum!

At the beginning, this bothered us, but we've learned that you just can't control Mother Nature and that chiles have a mind of their own. The 2008 batch is hotter than in previous years, but we love it and our customers are also scooping it up!
