Homemade Green Enchilada Sauce
Homemade Green Enchilada Sauce
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.
