Here’s the recipe I used for Homemade Green Enchilada Sauce when I made Honey Lime Enchiladas a few weeks back. It takes about 10 minutes to cook up and blend. The comparison to pre-made canned sauce? Let’s see. Kind of like the difference between a pop-out-of-the-can biscuit and homemade.Canned biscuits.Don’t go there.That’s all I’m going to say.

I love green enchiladas. However, my tomatillos didn't grow so well in the garden this year. Your photos are making me hungry.

This sounds sooo good. And Honey Lime Enchiladas, I think I am going to have to make these with some kind of vegetarian filling. It is my new quest.
