Stir in garlic and and continue cooking until the onion is translucent. Stir in Chile powder. Add broth, water, oregano and salt. Bring to a boil.

Enchilada Sauce - Red Chile Sauce Enchilada Sauce - Red Chile Sauce
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. Izandro -

Baked Chiles Relleno w/Tortilla Enchilada Sauce Baked Chiles Relleno w/Tortilla Enchilada Sauce
This is a very loose interpretation of chiles relleno, but it has authentic ingredients and flavors. I had all of it lying around and threw it together. I wasn't planning to make it a tortilla enchilada sauce, but it was thinner than I wanted. I added the chips to thicken it and it ended up giving it a pretty toasty flavor. hands.matt -
Crab and Shrimp Enchiladas with Hatch Chili Sauce Crab and Shrimp Enchiladas with Hatch Chili Sauce
These shrimp and crab enchialadas feaure the hatch chili, a moderately spicy delicious chili that I learned about here on this app from MMOBRIAN. Our local market just started having them available . I bought a few and roasted and stuffed them with a wild rice and cheese mix and we loved the spicy but not overpowering heat and delicious flavor. This brought me to thinking they would make a great sauce for enchalaradas. The dish turned out so good! If you can't find the hatch chili this can still be made with another chili such as a poblano or anaheim, the jlavor will be different as will the spice level but they will still be delicious. fenway
