Enchiladas originated in Mexico, is a corn tortilla rolled around a filling and covered with a chili pepper sauce. Enchiladas can be filled with a variety of ingredients, including various meats, cheese, beans, potatoes, vegetables or combinations.
Chili Gravy whole wheat Bell pepper Enchiladas is a spicy variation of the classic enchiladas where whole wheat tortillas are drenched in reddish brown, spicy semi sauce & gravy and then baked.
To make this gravy healthier I have used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. The recipe for whole wheat tortillas is also specified.

Semi Sauce and Gravy

  • Gather all the ingredients and dissolve 1 tsp of corn flour in 2 tbsp of water.
  • First step is to make the roux by Whisking oil and flour together in a pan over medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes until it changes color.
  • Once your roux turns into light tan color, simmer the flame and whisk in all the spices and salt. Allow the spices to cook for 10 – 20 seconds and add the tomato puree. Keep whisking.
  • Add the corn flour mixture along with water or vegetable stock.
  • Now in medium flame keep whisking and add sugar if preferred. As it heats, the gravy will thicken. At this point turn off the flame.

Enchiladas

  • Grease a baking tray well with oil.
  • Sauté bell peppers in little oil. Do not cook completely because the crunchiness of the bell pepper is important.
  • Spread about ½ cup of the gravy on the baking tray.
  • Wrap each tortilla using the sauteed bell pepper and cheese. Roll and place them on the baking tray.

Notes

  • For this recipe I have half cooked the tortilla on an ungreased tawa, as the final dish will be baked later. (Otherwise it is generally cooked completely for about a 1 minute until puffy and stored for future use).
  • The usage of gravy can be adjusted according to your choice before baking.
