When all is said and done, this recipe is not any cheaper than just buying the canned stuff, but I like that I could control what was in it. I found this recipe at I was Born to Cook. This recipe is great, but a bit spicier than stuff you find in the store. If you prefer a mild flavor, reduce the chili powder.
Head's up, I have ZERO clue why some of this post is highlighted in white. I've tried for 30 minutes to fix it. Screw it.
For the sauce: 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce 1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies (do not drain) 2/3 cup water 1/3 cup red bell pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 2 garlic cloves, minced
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
Life is short - live on the edge
Pour into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 5-7 minutes.
I made a bunch of enchiladas for the freezer, and then poured the extra sauce in wide-mouth Mason jars and stored them in the freezer.
I like Pioneer Woman's Enchiladas recipe. I always use leftover pot roast from the crockpot, so that I'm getting more bang from my cooked meat buck. There is a wonderful dirty joke in there somewhere...
