Homemade enchilada seasoning is just as versatile as taco seasoning. Here are some flavorful ways to use it:

Creating Enchilada Sauce:

  • The Classic: This is the most obvious use! Mix your homemade seasoning with tomato sauce or paste, broth (chicken or vegetable), and sometimes a bit of flour or cornstarch to thicken. Simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.

Flavoring Meats & Poultry:

  • Chicken or Beef Seasoning: Rub it generously on chicken breasts, thighs, steak, or ground beef before cooking (grilling, baking, pan-frying, or slow cooking).
  • Meatball or Meatloaf: Add it to your ground meat mixture for a Southwestern flair.
  • Chicken Wings: Toss cooked wings with melted butter and enchilada seasoning.
  • Taco Filling Enhancement: Even if you're making tacos, a little enchilada seasoning can add a different layer of flavor to your ground meat or other fillings.

Spicing Up Sides & Vegetables:

  • Roasted Vegetables: Toss vegetables like bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and corn with olive oil and enchilada seasoning before roasting.
  • Rice or Quinoa: Add it to the cooking liquid for a subtle smoky flavor.
  • Beans: Stir it into black beans, pinto beans, or refried beans while heating.
  • Sweet Potato Fries: Sprinkle it on before or after baking.

Making Delicious Dips & Sauces:

  • Enchilada Dip: Mix it with sour cream, cream cheese, or Greek yogurt for a quick and easy dip.
  • Queso: Stir it into your melted cheese dip for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Salsa Enhancement: Add a pinch to your homemade or store-bought salsa for a deeper, warmer flavor.

Other Creative Culinary Adventures:

  • Enchilada Soup: It's a key flavor component in a hearty enchilada soup.
  • Casseroles: Add it to Mexican-inspired casseroles like enchilada pasta bake or layered tortilla casseroles.
  • Eggs: Sprinkle it on scrambled eggs or omelets for a Southwestern breakfast.
  • Pasta Dishes: Mix it into a creamy pasta sauce with shredded chicken or black beans.
  • Nachos: Sprinkle it over your nachos along with the cheese and other toppings.
