    ⏲️ Time needed

    This quick and easy recipe will be ready in 20 minutes.

    🥘 Ingredients

    • beef ravioli
    • salsa
    • Monterey Jack cheese
    • black olives

    Homemade Enchilada Sauce

    • tomato sauce
    • dried oregano
    • garlic powder
    • chili powder
    • onion powder
    • ground cumin

    🍲 Adaptations for dietary restrictions

    Vegetarians can substitute cheese ravioli, and the dish can be enhanced with any number of other ingredients like black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, or corn that you may have on hand.

    📋 Instructions

    Cook the ravioli according to package directions.

    Combine the enchilada sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir until well mixed. In a skillet, mix 10 ounces of the enchilada sauce and the salsa over low heat. Save the remaining enchilada sauce to add to leftovers.

    When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the skillet. Mixing carefully, add olives and cheese, and serve.

    🥗 Side dishes

    This is a filling dish, so I usually just serve it with a side salad.

    Instructions

    • Cook ravioli according to package directions.
      25 ounces beef ravioli
    • While the ravioli is cooking, combine the ingredients for the enchilada sauce in a bowl and mix well.
      ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ - 1 teaspoon ground chili powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ - 1 teaspoon cumin, 15 ounces tomato sauce
    • In a skillet, mix 10 ounces of the enchilada sauce and the salsa over low heat. Save the remaining enchilada sauce to add to leftovers.
      1 cup salsa
    • When pasta is cooked, drain and add to skillet.
    • Mixing carefully, add olives and cheese and serve.

    Notes

    You will have a few ounces of leftover enchilada sauce, which can be stored separately and added to leftovers when reheating (sauce tends to be absorbed by pasta over time).
    You can use a 10 ounce can of red enchilada sauce as a shortcut.
    Vegetarians can substitute cheese ravioli, and the dish can be enhanced with any number of other ingredients like black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, or corn that you may have on hand.
