Homemade Enchilada Sauce is quick & easy and much better than the stuff from a jar. It can also be made in advance, frozen or stored in the fridge until you are ready to roll and bake your enchiladas.
Homemade Enchilada Sauce is a critical component of our Black Bean Enchiladas. Rolled enchiladas with the sauce can be stored in the freezer for up to a month. Just move to the fridge to thaw when you leave for work and when you come back, pop them in the oven for a hot, healthy, fast dinner. Hot, filling, hearty family food.
