Keto Enchilada Sauce

5 ratings

This sauce is an excellent way to add a little fat and flavor to any dish! With a strong tomato base, you can drizzle this Enchilada Sauce over your Mexican-inspired keto dishes, as well as over chicken dishes, zucchini pastas, and casseroles. The original recipe yield here should make about ¾ cup of sauce.

Recipe Steps

steps 3

11 min

  • Step 1

    Melt the butter in a pan over low heat. Mince and toss in the garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, or just enough time to let the garlic get fragrant and the butter brown slightly.
    Step 1

  • Step 2

    Over low heat, whisk in the heavy cream and then the tomato paste, in that order. Whisk until the sauce is lump free.
    Step 2

  • Step 3

    Whisk in the vegetable broth and all the spices. Continue whisking as the sauce thickens slightly and reduces to a thick and creamy texture - about 3-5 minutes. It should coat the back of a wooden spoon but still loosen as it is heated.

    This was delicious on our keto chicken enchiladas! The perfect amount of sauce for a pan of 12, not too soupy.

      I’ve loved every recipe on here except this one. I’m hispanic and this does NOT taste how enchilada sauce should taste. Maybe the cinnamon is what throws it off.
