Homemade Enchilada Sauce Recipe

I like to make a lot of my own kitchen helpers. Sauces, salad dressings, seasoning mixes. I like knowing exactly what is in everything. And homemade is much more economical.

So in my quest to make more of my own kitchen helpers, I developed a Homemade Enchilada Sauce recipe. I used it in these pans of enchiladas.

In a cup or small bowl, stir together with a fork or whisk:

Making sure it’s stirred well, no lumps.

Slowly pour this mixture into the sauce in the pan, while stirring the sauce. Stir until it returns to a boil. Remove from heat.

Here’s one of the enchiladas from the pans pictured above. I served it with homemade Mexican Rice, and some of my home canned green beans.
