Chef's Notes

Enchilada sauce will solidify some in the fridge. To warm, add to a small sauce pan or microwave until liquid again.

We immediately quadrupled this recipe after tasting it. Everything about it is good! My husband made us an enchilada casserole situation and it was the perfect sauce. Didn't even realize how much better homemade enchilada sauce could be! Thanks, Kelly!

This enchilada sauce! We only had avocado oil on hand and so used that and it still turned out delicious! Can’t wait to try it with ghee next time! We made shredded chicken enchilada rice bowls and drizzled the sauce right on top. Today I mixed some of the remaining sauce with ranch and had it over a chicken salad. So great and versatile!!

Jessica ★ 5.0/5

I never realized how easy it is to make homemade enchilada sauce. I’ve made enchiladas before with prepared sauce and my husband never cares for them. This time, he LOVED them. I’ll definitely be making this sauce again!!
