enchilada sauce

Somehow my cooking repertoire never included recipes that contained enchilada sauce. That’s not to say that I don’t like enchiladas. I do. When we go out for Mexican food my meal frequently includes an enchilada. Terry makes a marvelous enchilada which I absolutely love. She follows the recipe to make her own enchilada sauce from scratch, and it is superb.

But buy a can of enchilada sauce? I don’t believe that I have. Or if I have it’s been decades. Until recently. In January I made two recipes that called for a can of enchilada sauce.

The first was a spiralizer recipe. It was Spiralized Sweet Potato Enchilada Casserole. It turned out great and was delicious.

The second was a one-skillet meal. That was Chicken Black Bean Enchilada Skillet. Again, excellent.

I guess I’m going to have to add enchilada sauce as a pantry item in our kitchen.
