How often do you need Enchilada Sauce when preparing a meal for your family or friends? Did you now it takes only 5 minutes to make it with simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry? If you’re trying to avoid canned food, this is right recipe for you.
I know that authentic enchilada sauce does not contain tomatoes, but I added just 1 tsp tomato paste to enhance its color.
