During hatch chile season this is the only sauce you need! It’s earthy, smoky, and buttery; a wonderful addition to burritos, enchiladas, and more that is easy to make and takes only 25-minutes. Naturally vegan.

Now that I’ve shared my guide to roasting hatch chile peppers (which you can find here), I want to share with you my recipe for hatch chile sauce.

It’s so incredibly simple to make and only takes 25 minutes most of which is hands off.

That means you can amp your next burrito or burger with ease and still have plenty of time to do whatever else your heart desires; truly a dream come true. 😍

Since hatch chiles are available in varying levels of heat you can customize this sauce to suit your desired level of spiciness. Personally I find the heat really takes the sauce to the next level, so I recommend using the hottest chiles you can handle.

The heat balances well with the earthy, smoky, and buttery flavors that make up this vegan sauce.

So what do you need to make this sauce? ( + substitutions)

  • Olive oil: For sautéing the aromatics.
  • White onion
  • Garlic
  • Roasted hatch chiles: When in season, early August through late September, you can typically find them at the grocery store. They are also available for purchase from The Hatch Chile Store. Although only fresh part of the year, they will deliver them pre-roasted all year round. If possible I highly recommend you roast the hatch chiles yourself. Here is my easy oven roasting guide. Also worth mentioning, they come in different levels of heat; from mild to extra-spicy.
  • All-purpose flour: To thicken the sauce.
  • Vegetable broth: Could sub for chicken broth, pork broth, or even water.
  • Salt
  • Oregano: Preferably Mexican Oregano!

How do you make hatch green chile sauce? ( + tips)

Begin by heating the olive oil in a small/medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are slightly translucent and soft.
