ABQ VENUE'S SAUCY RECIPE

We make this at least once a week.

ITS REALLY GOOD - TRY OUR SAUCE!


Ten Minute Enchilada Sauce
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons self-rising flour
  • 1/4 cup New Mexico or California chili powder
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion salt
  • salt to taste

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
Enjoy!


ABQ VENUE'S SOPAPILLAS

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3/4 cup warm water, plus more as needed

Directions

Sift the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add the shortening and water, work them in with your hands to make a soft, pliable dough. Gather the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Put the dough in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour.
Unwrap the ball of dough cut in half. With a floured rolling pin and floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a circle, about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the dough into triangles as you would a pizza. You should end up with 6 or 8 triangles per circle.

Heat 2-inches of oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy skillet or deep pot over medium-high heat.

Fry the sopapillas a couple at a time. As the sopapillas puff up and rise to the surface, flip them over; about 2 minutes on each side. Carefully remove the sopapillas from the oil and drain on paper towels. Cool slightly. Serve hot with honey. Enjoy!
