Easy Enchilada Sauce
Description
The Easy Enchilada Sauce blends olive oil, chili powder, chicken or vegetable broth, crushed tomatoes, and herbs until smooth, creating a flavorful and well-integrated sauce base. The inclusion of brown sugar or, optionally, apple cider vinegar balances the acidity while adding subtle sweetness or tang.
The sauce's consistency is uniform, making it suitable for smothering enchiladas or adding depth to other dishes that call for a Mexican-style sauce. It is prepared simply by blending all the ingredients, allowing the spices and herbs to distribute evenly.
You can make this sauce ahead and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze it for up to three months. Thawing and re-blending help restore its smooth texture. Portioning into small containers before freezing can make it easy to use as needed.
