MEXICAN VILLA ENCHILADA SAUCE
CLONE
 
1 1/2 sticks butter (no substitutes)
9 heaping tablespoons flour (more as needed)
6 cups water
7-8 good quality beef bouillon cubes
1 1/2 packets Williams Original Chili Seasoning

Here's my friend's "Mexican Villa Burrito Enchilada Style" copycat sauce recipe from Springfield, MO!

In a large skillet on low heat, mix:

1 1/2 sticks real butter
9 heaping tablespoons flour

Make a roux from this, stirring occasionally, do NOT brown, if too runny, add a little more flour.

In a large pot combine:

6 cups water
7-8 good quality beef bouillon cubes.

Bring this mixture to a boil, then add:

1 1/2 packets Williams Original Chili Seasoning

Add this liquid combo to the cooked flour combo, stirring till smooth. Make enchiladas with mashed refried beans; boiled, drained ground beef seasoned with packet of Taco Bell powder and a little of this sauce and shredded Kraft White American cheese. Pour sauce over all and bake about 30 minutes at 350°F.

Just wanted to add when turning this to a cheese dip/sauce... You can use Yellow or Cheddar American cheese. I usually just use the singles, it tastes just the same just a more yellow/orange color. Either way, it's delicious!

I know this is good because my daughter makes it and she ate at Mexican Villa all the time when she was going to college at SBU she loved this restaurant. My question why not just use Beef Broth instead of water and bouillon cubes.
Thank you!

Take half of the sauce and mix in a pound of white American cheese. Add some milk if too thick.

I believe their cheese sauce (Queso) is just white American cheese and their enchilada sauce mixed half and half. At least that tastes right to me.

Villa is one of my favorite restaurants in Springfield. Here is a post I found on the net on another site -- I made this sweet sauce and it is great!! It turned out a little thick, so just add water until it is the consistency you want.

This is my take on their sweet sauce and my husband and I think it's pretty close. It has all the ingredients that are listed on their bottle, except the MSG, which I think we are better off without.

Ingredients:

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 jalapenos (you can use canned jalapenos also)
2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. white vinegar
1 c. sugar
2 1/2 c. water

Directions: Puree tomatoes and jalapenos together. Combine rest of ingredients in saucepan and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Chill for best flavor (the vinegar will be too strong while it is warm).

Good luck and hope it satisfies your craving.

Mexican Villa has been my all time favorite place to eat since I was 12 years old. Never get tired of it.
I made this recipe and it was soooo close. This is the way I will make it from now on.
Someone please tell me what is in the mild sweet sauce. I dream about that delicious stuff.
