Homemade is so much better

I could eat some type of Mexican food EVERY meal. Given how much I love Mexican food I have been working on a staple in my kitchen…enchilada sauce. Finally I have created one that I LOVE and that is perfect for all my casseroles, soups and of course, enchiladas.

Homemade is worth it

First off…look at the color. Isn’t it beautiful? I love the deep reddish, orange color with the bits of spices and herbs running through it. It adds a beautiful color to your dishes for sure.

Secondly the taste. This sauce has a little heat from the chili powder, but not too much. It also has a bit of smoke from the cumin and some brightness from the oregano.

Lastly, it is so easy to make. Yep you read that right, not only is it delicious but it is SO EASY to make. You can whip this up in no time to sue for dinner tonight, or make it over the weekend for dinner later this week.

Make it how you like it

Do you want a super spicy enchilada sauce for your favorite enchilada dish, or maybe for this enchilada soup? NO problem, add some additional chili powder or a dash or two of cayenne pepper to spice up this sauce.

Want a mild sauce for your favorite tacos, reduce the chili powder. That is the beauty of this recipe you can make it exactly how you want it…it can be made to be perfect for you and your family.
