A delicious Authentic Mexican Enchilada Sauce Recipe. What are you thinking? Pull out the blender, soften the chiles, wait for them to cool before you puree. Strain the sauce through a cheese cloth. Not even close. Read on to find out.

This recipe came about when some unexpected guests (a family of six) stopped by right about dinner time. I was in a panic. It was dinner time. I couldn’t just send them away without any food. But, I didn’t have enough of anything to feed that many people.

Lucky for me I found some ground beef. I Always have cheddar cheese and an onions on hand. But no Authentic Mexican Enchilada Sauce Recipe. I Knew how to make Authentic Mexican Enchilada Sauce Recipe, but didn’t have the time or the chilis to do it. So, I improvised and came up with this recipe, which I had never even thought of as a short-cut before.

I was still a bit embarrassed because I was caught unprepared. Nevertheless, things went well and everyone raved about my enchiladas. 

If I have the time, I prefer to make my own enchilada sauce. However, in a pinch I will use canned.
