Enchilada Sauce
My favorite enchilada sauce is Trader Joe's. I usually have several bottles on hand but found my self without after starting my beef enchiladas recipe. So I decided to try my hand at making a homemade sauce. I must say it came out quite good. Not as zippy as Trader Joe's, which was by design. My hubby has a low tolerance for spicy. In my dream world, I would add a couple more jalapenos to the recipe to spice it up a bit more.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1-2 jalapeno peppers seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 14.5- oz can diced tomatoes blended until smooth
- 1 15- oz can tomato sauce

- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
