Here's the recipe I used for enchilada sauce when I made Honey Lime Enchiladas a few weeks back. It takes about 10 minutes to cook up and blend. The comparison to pre-made canned sauce? Let's see. Kind of like the difference between a pop-out-of-the-can biscuit and homemade.
Canned biscuits.
Don't go there.
That's all I'm going to say.

I love green enchiladas. However, my tomatillos didn't grow so well in the garden this year. Your photos are making me hungry.
ReplyDeleteYUM, I could eat the bowl of it!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds sooo good. And Honey Lime Enchiladas, I think I am going to have to make these with some kind of vegetarian filling. It is my new quest.
