1890 San Antonio Enchilada Sauce image

This recipe is from Cook 'Em Horns published by the University of Texas Ex-Students' Association. It is the only enchilada sauce recipe I use, period. Homemade is always best. I have used a blender, but I don't blend all the tomatoes. I have also used a potato masher for the tomatoes for a thicker sauce. Cooking and prep time to not include preparing the enchiladas. Serve on beef, chicken, vegetarian...just about any kind of enchilada.

This sauce was a disappointment. It was bland and didn't have any depth of flavor.

Not a fan of this sauce. It was too spicy and didn't have much flavor.

This sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great on enchiladas or tacos.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this sauce was surprisingly mild. It had just the right amount of heat without being overpowering.

Easy to make and delicious! I've tried other enchilada sauce recipes before, but this one is definitely my favorite. It has the perfect balance of spice and flavor.

This sauce is a true representation of the flavors of San Antonio! The combination of spices and the deep, rich flavor of the tomatoes is perfect. I paired it with some grilled chicken tacos and it was a hit!
