Notes

  • I like to double this recipe and put half in the fridge to use for later. It stays good for up to a week!
  • Use this enchilada sauce in chili or taco soup with ground beef.
  • You can also use it as your "red sauce" for Mexican pizza or as a layer in a hot bean dip.
  • Try this homemade sauce as a marinade or put it in the slow cooker with chicken or pork to make shredded filling for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc.
