Homemade Enchilada Sauce
Hello Everyone! Welcome Back to Turnips 2 Tangerines. Today on Turnips 2 Tangerines we are going to share a recipe for Homemade Enchilada Sauce. I found this quick and easy recipe on a fantastic website; Cooking Mexican Recipes. Rockin’ Robin also has a YouTube channel, so check it out. I came across Rockin Robins a few years back when I was looking for a recipe to make homemade refried beans using pinto beans. That day I make some of the best refried beans I’ve ever eaten! I’ve been going back to Rockin Robins ever since.
Easy and Delicious
I never would have guessed in a million years that making enchilada sauce was so easy. The ingredient list is short and sweet and the end result is delicious. If you were like me and relied on canned enchilada sauce, STOP! Try this recipe ASAP. If you have literally 10 minutes, you have enough time to whip up a batch of this easy sauce. It makes roughly 2 cups of a thick and spicy sauce. I pour my sauce into a ball glass canning jar and store in the refrigerator. Let’s face it folks, anything homemade tastes better than store-bought.
