10 Min Mexican White Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Measure salad dressing into a medium bowl. Gradually stir in the milk. Season with red pepper flakes, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and oregano, and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend. If you taste it right away, all you will taste is salad dressing.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together with wisk or mixer or blender, etc.
• Best if chilled overnight.
• Serve with homemade Mexican style tortilla chips.
• Note: You may need to experiment with the spices to your own taste. Also, you may like to add more or less ranch dressing to taste, and also more or less milk to the consistency you like. Start out with less, then taste and add as you like. Most Mexican restaurants I've been to are different with the white sauce.
• I have also added sour cream to this recipe and it also does well.
• Please, if anyone finds a better way or something to add or subtract, please comment and note it!

Steps:

• Rinse the red onion in cold water, breaking up the rings and removing any white membrane between the layers. Drain well. Toss the red onions, vinegar, 1 1/2 cups water, 2 teaspoons salt and the sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar and salt dissolve. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook the pork, turning once, until golden brown on two sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the yellow onions to the same pot, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until the paste is brick red and the mixture is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ancho and pasilla chiles, bay leaves, raisins, broth and 1 tablespoon salt. Return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover and simmer until the pork is falling apart and easily shreds, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Remove the bay leaves and discard. Transfer the pork to a medium bowl. Reserve the cooking liquid.
• Let the hot cooking liquid cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling no more than halfway. Remove the center cap from the lid and place it on the blender. Cover the lid with a folded kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth. Pour the sauce into a medium bowl and repeat with any remaining cooking liquid. Season with salt.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the chile sauce over the pork. Use a potato masher to smash the pork into the sauce; it should fall apart completely. Remove any remaining large pieces of fat and discard. Stir to combine and season with salt if necessary.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 1 cup oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles immediately when the edge of a tortilla touches the surface. Working one at a time, fry the tortillas until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side (they should still be somewhat pliable). Drain on paper towels.
• Dip both sides of each tortilla in the chile sauce just to coat and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1/2 cup of the chile sauce in a 6-inch strip down the center of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
• Spoon 1/4 cup shredded pork across the center of a tortilla. Fold one side over the filling, then roll up the tortilla. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with more sauce and remaining tortillas (the enchiladas should be nestled right up against each other in the pan). Top with any remaining sauce in your bowl or leftover on the baking sheet. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the sauce bubbles, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the foil, top with the cheese and bake until the cheese is melted but not brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes.
• Top the enchiladas with the pickled red onions. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

Steps:

• For the salsa: Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the peppers and onion and cook until the onion is translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, blend together the tomatoes and tomato sauce in a large blender until smooth. Once the peppers and onions are cooked, stir the tomato sauce mixture into the saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and stir in the cumin, oregano and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes; taste for seasoning and add salt if needed. Keep warm. Makes about 5 cups.
• For the queso sauce: Put the cheese and jalapenos in a heat-safe blender. Bring the milk to a boil over medium-high heat in a medium saucepan. Carefully pour the hot milk into the blender and blend until smooth. Return to the saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
• Makes about 2 cups.
• For the burrito: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and brown on one side. Loosen the meat with a spatula or spoon and brown the meat on the other side. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the skillet.
• Put the tortilla on a microwave-safe dish and cover it with a damp paper towel. Heat in the microwave until quite hot and pliable, about 20 seconds. Discard the paper towel.
• Put the refried beans, steak, rice, onion, cilantro, and cheese horizontally across the center of the tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border at both ends. Fold the left and right sides inwards perpendicular to the filling, then roll the burrito from front to back, pulling the filling tightly until the bottom of the burrito is now on top. Top with up to 1 cup of the salsa and about the same amount of queso sauce. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and shredded lettuce if desired. Remaining salsa and queso sauce can be kept for up to 1 week, refrigerated.

Steps:

• For the sauce and filling:
• Toast coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling pan often and adding cumin seeds during the last 30 seconds of cooking, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool, then finely grind in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.
• Bring guajillo, ancho, and morita chiles and stock to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cover, remove from heat, and let sit 30 minutes to let chiles soften.
• Transfer chile mixture to a blender and add toasted spices, garlic, tomato paste, and oregano and purée until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Heat oil in a medium heavy pot over medium-high. Season pork with salt and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10-12 minutes. Pour off excess oil and add chile purée and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, cover, and transfer to oven. Braise pork until meat is very tender and shreds easily, 1 1/2-2 hours; season with salt.
• Skim excess fat from chile sauce; discard bay leaves. Transfer pork to a large bowl. Let cool slightly, then shred with 2 forks. Mix 1/2 cup chile sauce into pork; season with salt. Set remaining sauce aside.
• For the assembly:
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high until it bubbles immediately when edge of tortilla touches the surface. Working one at a time, fry tortillas until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side (they should still be somewhat pliable). Transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Dip both sides of each tortilla in chile sauce just to coat, then transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread 1 cup sauce down the length of a 13x9" baking dish. Spoon 1/4 cup pork mixture across the center of a tortilla and fold one side over filling, then continue to roll up tortilla. Place seam side down in prepared baking dish. Repeat with more sauce and remaining tortillas (enchiladas should be nestled right up against each other in pan). Top with cheese and remaining sauce. Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is beginning to brown, 15-20 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, purée avocado, sour cream, lime juice, and 1/4 cup water in a food processor, adding more water to thin as needed, until smooth and creamy; season with salt.
• Top enchiladas with onion slices and drizzle with avocado cream. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
• Do Ahead
• Pork can be braised 3 days ahead. Let cool in chile sauce (do not shred); cover and chill.

Steps:

• Cook chicken in nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 4 min. on each side or until browned on both sides.
• Add salsa and beans. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 5 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF).
• Top with cheese. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, 5 min. or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in flour and chili powder, reduce heat to medium, and cook until lightly brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning flour.
• Gradually stir in tomato sauce, water, cumin, garlic powder, and onion salt into the flour and chili powder until smooth, and continue cooking over medium heat approximately 10 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt.

Steps:

• On medium low heat, pour 2 tbsp milk in medium sauce pan.
• Cut cheese into 1"x1" cubes.
• Put in pan on with milk.
• Drain jalapenos and pour into pan.
• Stir about every four or five minutes.
• Cheese will be very thick, add milk until you reach your desired consistancy.
• For leftovers, place in pan on stove top, add milk if consistancy is too thick.
