Kittencal's Red Enchilada or Taco Sauce image

I strongly suggest to make this sauce a day ahead and refrigerate as the flavors will blend together even more, and I advise that you double amounts if you are using it for enchiladas, what you do not use may be frozen for later use, this sauce freezes very well, in fact I most always make more to have handy in my freezer --- this makes a fantastic sauce for tacos or enchiladas it is the only one that I use I never purchase bottled this is much better --- the sour cream is only optional add in for a creamy-style sauce :)

This sauce is a must-try! It's so easy to make and it tastes incredible. I love the smoky flavor and the perfect amount of heat. I'll definitely be making this again and again.

I'm not a big fan of enchiladas, but I love this sauce. It's so flavorful and versatile. I've used it to make tacos, burritos, and even as a dipping sauce for chips. It's always a hit.

This sauce is amazing! I used it to make enchiladas and they were the best enchiladas I've ever had. The sauce is so flavorful and complex. I can't wait to try it on other dishes.
