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.
