Red Enchilada Sauce

red enchilada sauce


I’ve adapted this recipe a bit, and it’s perfect. This recipe makes a little over 3 cups of sauce. For a large pan of enchiladas, I like to double the recipe and serve any extra sauce in a gravy boat for people who like their enchiladas extra saucy.

I found that a single recipe was plenty for the black bean enchiladas, but you’re welcome to double it if you like. The recipe below is the equivalent of about a 28oz can, or two of the small cans.


*Note: when I buy a can of chipotle chiles in adobo sauce. I use what I need for a recipe then freeze individual chiles on a plate covered with waxed paper for about 20 minutes or till set. Then, I transfer the chiles to a freezer zip-top bag to store. They will keep well this way for about 3 months. For other recipes that use the chiles, try these or these.


Servings:  Makes about 3 1/4 cups sauce

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
