The Tastiest Authentic Burrito Sauce Recipe

Today, we’re going to be taking a look at an authentic burrito sauce recipe. Alongside an authentic recipe, we’ll be looking at a slightly more modern sauce recipe too; one of my favorites – the creamy chipotle sauce. Both go perfectly with burritos and make an already incredible dish, even tastier. Burritos are one of my go-to Mexican dishes; mainly because they’re so quick and easy to make. But how do you go about making an authentic burrito sauce recipe? Let’s take a closer look.

What Is Burrito Sauce?

You may call it burrito sauce, but its traditional name is enchilada sauce. Enchiladas and burritos are very similar dishes, and the sauce poured over the dishes is the same for both. Enchilada (or burrito sauce) is typically made with a range of herbs, spices, and chili peppers. It usually has a good amount of heat and is very tasty.

Burritos that are made with these sauces are called burritos mojados. Mojado translates to “wet” in Spanish; so they are essentially “wet burritos”.

Ingredients In Burrito Sauce – Authentic Burrito Sauce Recipe

Ingredients for a burrito sauce can vary depending on which recipe you’re following. However, the ingredients in our recipe are as follows:

  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon of chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • sprinkle of cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon of white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

Nutritional Information Of Burrito Sauce

You may be wondering what the nutritional value is when it comes to this. One 60g serving of enchilada sauce usually contains the following:

  • Calories: 24
  • Fat: 0g
  • Cholesterol: 0mg
  • Sodium: 520mg
  • Carbohydrates: 5g
  • Dietary Fiber: 1g

How Do You Make Wet Burrito Sauce From Scratch?

To make this sauce, it really is as simple as adding the ingredients to a pan over medium heat and leaving it to simmer and thicken until it reaches the consistency you require. We’ll be looking at how to make this sauce from scratch in detail, in our recipe below. It is super easy to make, but you can also buy it premade in stores if you’d prefer.

What Is Mexican Red Sauce Made Of?

Mexican red sauce is typically made using chili peppers and a mixture of herbs and spices. It gets its red coloring from the use of red chili peppers. Whereas Mexican green sauce gets its green coloring from green chili peppers. Both work well when it comes to wet burritos, but the red sauce has always been a favorite of mine.

Authentic Burrito Sauce Recipe

There are many enchilada sauce recipes, but this one has been my favorite for a while now, and it’s inspired by one from Cookie and Kate. What’s great about this recipe is that it can easily be adapted to gluten-free; simply by changing the flour to gluten-free flour. Let’s take a closer look.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon of chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • sprinkle of cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon of white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

Step 1: Prepare The Sauce

Add your flour, chili powder, cumin, salt, cinnamon, garlic powder, and oregano to a bowl. In the meantime, add your oil to a pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the prepared bowl of dry ingredients. Stir continuously whilst cooking, for around one minute. Now add your tomato paste, along with the broth. Continue to stir throughout the process.

Step 2: Simmer

Turn up the heat and wait until the mixture begins to simmer. Once it’s a gentle simmer, cook for around 6 minutes, until the sauce has thickened (bear in mind that the sauce will also become thicker once removed from heat). Whisk often throughout this process. Once you’ve reached the desired consistency, remove from heat.

Step 3: Adjust

After removing from heat, add the vinegar and a sprinkle of black pepper. Add more seasoning, if desired. Your sauce is ready to enjoy!

What Sauce Goes On Top Of Burritos?

Traditionally, red or green enchilada sauce is poured on top of burritos to make “wet burritos”. But nowadays, another popular choice is creamy chipotle sauce or taco sauce.

Recipe

Step 1: Cook The Pork

Add your pork shoulder roast to a large pot with water just covering the meat. Now add your onion, garlic, and one packet of taco seasoning. Mix well and leave on medium-low heat until cooked, juicy and tender. This should take around 2-3 hours and should no longer be pink. You can leave it unattended but may need to check every 45 minutes or so to add extra water, if necessary. Once cooked, keep around one cup of the cooking juices on one side.

Step 2: Add The Fillings – Authentic Mexican Pork Burritos Recipe

Step 3: Assemble Your Burritos

In each tortilla, add some of the pork to the center and add some of the shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla into a burrito shape (fold and bottom and top over the filling and then roll to enclose). Repeat until all of the filling has been used up.

Step 4: Fry The Burritos

Add around two tablespoons of oil to a pan or skillet. Each tortilla will need around two minutes of frying on each side. They should be golden when finished. You’ll need to fry the burritos in small groups (depending on the size of your pan). Once fried, place on a paper towel to dry any excess oil.

You can buy ready-ground pork from most supermarkets, or you can make your own in a food processor; that way you can control the thickness, cut, and fat content.

Can You Use Serrano Peppers Instead Of Jalapeno?

Absolutely. You can use serrano and jalapeno peppers interchangeably. However, the heat of a serrano pepper is far more intense than a jalapeno pepper. If you’re uncomfortable with heat, it’s advisable to only use a small amount of serrano pepper, in comparison to how much jalapeno pepper you’d typically use. However, if you’re looking for extra heat in your dish, they can be swapped for one another in most recipes.

Do Serrano Peppers Taste Like Jalapeno?

Both the serrano and jalapeno peppers taste very similar. They both taste similar to green peppers and have that grassy aftertaste. However, the heat difference between the two is quite steep, so bear that in mind when adding them to your dishes.

While there are some similarities between the two peppers, there are also many differences. Let’s take a look at some of the most obvious differences between the two:

  • Shape. While the serrano pepper is thin and long, the jalapeno pepper is thicker and fuller than it’s cousin
  • Scoville. Their rating on the Scoville scale is very different. The serrano pepper is up to five times hotter than the jalapeno
  • Taste. The taste is relatively similar, but the serrano pepper tastes more grassy and is, of course, hotter

Sazonar la carne es la parte más importante de la cocina. Si el plato no tiene un adobo delicioso, es probable que esté seco.

Jump to Recipe

¿Que Es La Carne Asada?

La carne asada es una carne deliciosa, sabrosa y tierna. Cuando lo cocinas y lo marinas bien, queda jugoso y genial como las sobras. La carne asada usa diferentes cortes de carne, pero generalmente es una arrachera. La carne está muy condimentada y marinada y cocinada a la parrilla.

La carne asada se corta en rodajas finas y se sirve sobre arroz y con una salsa fresca. Para hacer un adobo delicioso, los dos ingredientes principales son la salsa de soya y el azúcar. Aunque cocinar con azúcar parece difícil, es fácil a fuego lento.

¿Cómo Se Cocina La Carne Asada?

La auténtica carne asada se cocina a la parrilla y se corta en rodajas, pero hay varias formas de cocinar este estilo de carne. Por ejemplo, puede cocinar carne asada en una sartén sobre la estufa, en el horno y en una freidora, pero la textura variará.

La carne asada se quema rápido por lo que tendrás que tener cuidado al poner el fuego. Incluso si el calor es bajo, deberá mover la carne asada. Personalmente me gusta cocinar la carne con su propio jugo hecho con adobo, condimentos y frutas cítricas. ¿Alguna vez ha usado jugo de naranja o jugo de limón para darle sabor? ¡Es un gran cambio de juego en la cocina!

¿Cuáles son los tipos de marinados que existen?

Lo Que Necesitará Para Hacer Esta Receta

Ingredientes

  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • 3-4 slices of large oranges
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • 4-6 slices of lemon
  • ⅓ cup lime juice
  • fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon red chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon ground paprika
  • 2 tablespoons of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle peppers
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tazas de vinagre blanco

Materiales

  • bolsa ziplock
  • 3 libras de arrachera
  • 2 tazones grandes
  • cuchara de mezcla
  • batidor
  • tabla de cortar
  • cuchilla de corte

¿Qué es lo que no puede faltar en una carne asada?

Instrucciones Paso A Paso Para Hacer Esta Receta

Paso 1: Limpia y Prepara la Carne

En el primer paso, debes preparar la carne. Es más fácil trocear la carne cuando no es un trozo grueso. Elija su corte de carne asada con cuidado. Rebane con un cuchillo afilado, pero mantenga la carne unida. Estas rebanadas permitirán que la marinada penetre en el interior de la carne y la hará muy tierna.

Para limpiar la carne, agregue vinagre y unas gotas de lima en un tazón grande. Agregue la carne y muévala alrededor de la mezcla de vinagre. Esto debería limpiar la sangre y la suciedad de la carne y, al mismo tiempo, matar las bacterias.

Paso 2: Rebanar las Frutas

Una vez que limpie la carne, use una tabla de cortar limpia que esté lejos de la carne roja cruda y corte las frutas. Puedes hacerlos tan gruesos o tan delgados como quieras.

Paso 3: Coloque los Ingredientes Húmedos Dentro de la Bolsa ziplock

Reúna los ingredientes húmedos, incluidas las rodajas de fruta que acaba de cortar, y agréguelos a la bolsa ziplock. Agite la bolsa cerrada durante al menos un minuto antes de agregar los ingredientes en polvo. También puede esperar para agregar la carne o agregarla de inmediato.

Paso 4: Poner la Carne en la Espalda y Masajear la Carne

Una vez mezclados muy bien los ingredientes y los sazones, recomiendo agregar la carne a la bolsa. Cierra bien la bolsa para que la marinada no se derrame y ‘masajea’ los ingredientes en la carne. Esto hará que la carne esté tierna, especialmente cuando se cocina. Si desea mantener esta receta lo más limpia posible, puede batir los ingredientes en un tazón grande antes de colocarlo en la bolsa.

Paso 5: Agregue el Resto de los Ingredientes a la Bolsa y Colóquela en el Refrigerador Durante al Menos 24 horas

En el último paso antes de cocinar la carne como desee, colocará la carne en el frigorífico durante al menos 24 horas. Cuanto más tiempo se asiente y se adobe la carne, más fuertes serán los sabores. También recomiendo cocinar la carne asada con las rodajas de fruta. Si desea más especias y calor, simplemente corte sus pimientos picantes favoritos.

Consejos Y Trucos

Hacer un adobo para la carne es realmente fácil, especialmente cuando estás cocinando carne asada al estilo mexicano. Los sabores en esta receta son ricos y es fácil de seguir. No tengo muchos consejos o trucos para ti ya que la receta es simple.

Sin embargo, si quieres probar algo nuevo y más picante, te recomiendo crear un aliño y usar una brocha. Haga la marinada siguiendo esta receta, pero mezcle aceite de oliva, un poco de vinagre y sus pimientos picantes favoritos (poblano, chiles, jalapeños) y cepille esta pasta sobre la carne.

Cómo Marinar Carne Para Asar Al Estilo Mexicano

Carne asada

Just Mexican Food
La auténtica carne asada se cocina a la parrilla y se corta en rodajas, pero hay varias formas de cocinar este estilo de carne. Por ejemplo, puede cocinar carne asada en una sartén sobre la estufa, en el horno y en una freidora, pero la textura variará. La carne asada se quema rápido por lo que tendrás que tener cuidado al poner el fuego. Incluso si el calor es bajo, deberá mover la carne asada. Personalmente me gusta cocinar la carne con su propio jugo hecho con adobo, condimentos y frutas cítricas. ¿Alguna vez ha usado jugo de naranja o jugo de limón para darle sabor? ¡Es un gran cambio de juego en la cocina!

Equipment

  • bolsa ziplock
  • 3 libras de arrachera
  • 2 tazones grandes
  • cuchara de mezcla
  • Batidor
  • tabla de cortar
  • cuchilla de corte

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • 3-4 slices of large oranges
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • 4-6 slices of lemon
  • ⅓ cup lime juice
  • fresh cilantro chopped
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon red chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon ground paprika
  • 2 tablespoons of sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle peppers
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tazas de vinagre blanco

Instructions
 

  • En el primer paso, debes preparar la carne. Es más fácil trocear la carne cuando no es un trozo grueso. Elija su corte de carne asada con cuidado. Rebane con un cuchillo afilado, pero mantenga la carne unida. Estas rebanadas permitirán que la marinada penetre en el interior de la carne y la hará muy tierna.
  • Para limpiar la carne, agregue vinagre y unas gotas de lima en un tazón grande. Agregue la carne y muévala alrededor de la mezcla de vinagre. Esto debería limpiar la sangre y la suciedad de la carne y, al mismo tiempo, matar las bacterias.
  • Una vez que limpie la carne, use una tabla de cortar limpia que esté lejos de la carne roja cruda y corte las frutas. Puedes hacerlos tan gruesos o tan delgados como quieras.
  • Reúna los ingredientes húmedos, incluidas las rodajas de fruta que acaba de cortar, y agréguelos a la bolsa ziplock. Agite la bolsa cerrada durante al menos un minuto antes de agregar los ingredientes en polvo. También puede esperar para agregar la carne o agregarla de inmediato.
  • Una vez mezclados muy bien los ingredientes y los sazones, recomiendo agregar la carne a la bolsa. Cierra bien la bolsa para que la marinada no se derrame y 'masajea' los ingredientes en la carne. Esto hará que la carne esté tierna, especialmente cuando se cocina. Si desea mantener esta receta lo más limpia posible, puede batir los ingredientes en un tazón grande antes de colocarlo en la bolsa.
  • Paso 5: Agregue el resto de los ingredientes a la bolsa y colóquela en el refrigerador durante al menos 24 horas
  • En el último paso antes de cocinar la carne como desee, colocará la carne en el frigorífico durante al menos 24 horas. Cuanto más tiempo se asiente y se adobe la carne, más fuertes serán los sabores. También recomiendo cocinar la carne asada con las rodajas de fruta. Si desea más especias y calor, simplemente corte sus pimientos picantes favoritos.

Notes

  • Hacer un adobo para la carne es realmente fácil, especialmente cuando estás cocinando carne asada al estilo mexicano. Los sabores en esta receta son ricos y es fácil de seguir. No tengo muchos consejos o trucos para ti ya que la receta es simple.
  • Sin embargo, si quieres probar algo nuevo y más picante, te recomiendo crear un aliño y usar una brocha. Haga la marinada siguiendo esta receta, pero mezcle aceite de oliva, un poco de vinagre y sus pimientos picantes favoritos (poblano, chiles, jalapeños) y cepille esta pasta sobre la carne.
