Ingredients

Scale
  • 25 oz. tomato sauce, canned
  • 1 sweet onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 36 jalapeño slices, jarred
  • 3/4 tsp. chili powder
  • 3/4 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. thyme
  • 2 tbsp. fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
  • 3/4 c. chicken stock
  • 1/4 c. sour cream or plain greek yogurt
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • Pinch of sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in blender and puree until smooth.
  2. In a medium sauce pan, add tomato mixture and simmer, stirring until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  3. Pour over enchiladas.

Notes

• To make vegetarian, substitute chicken stock for vegetable stock.

• Leftover sauce saves up to 2 weeks in fridge.

• Here’s my shortened enchilada recipe: we typically use corn tortillas and fill with chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and mexican cheese. Top with enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake for 25 minutes. Easy peasy!

• To keep your corn tortillas from breaking, fill a saute pan with water (1/2″ high) and cook on medium heat. Place the tortilla in pan for about 10 seconds. Flip and repeat. Tortilla should be pliable.
