UPDATED: This is an authentic Mexican Red Tamale sauce that I also use on enchiladas. It is very rich and only medium spicy but packs a lot of flavor into your Mexican dish. #mymexican

My Mexican friend taught me this recipe.Authentic enchilada sauce doesn't require tomatoes, but it's actually good to mix in tomato sauce - it makes it more mild. For roughly 2 cups. Recipe by nikigibson

For enchiladas, soups, stews, meat, and so on..... can be frozen.

I wanted something different rather than canned sauce and saw a couple easy ways to make it on pinterest. Here is just one easy way to make red sauce

Rich and delicious! Making your own Enchilada Sauce allows you to spice it up to your liking.

We served over a Wet Burrito and melted the cheese over it . It tasted great !!!. We also added some to the inside with the meat. Be careful not to over cook the sauce. Taste great with chicken ,pork or beef.

This sauce is far better than any canned variety and it will make enough for two large meals! Use this recipe to make red enchiladas, smothered burritos, soups, stews and more! Make certain that you don't wear your good clothes because the process can get a bit messy.I prefer to make my sauce the day before for several reasons. It is one less thing to prepare the day of and if you allow the sauce time in the refrigerator, it will get thicker. This sauce is not the typical "gringo" flour-based sauce, so allowing it time to get thicker really helps the sauce adhere well. If you do make the sauce ahead, you may notice that it appears gelatinous; mix well before using.

This sauce is unbelievably easy but after you try it you'll never buy the canned stuff again!
