Enchilada Sauce

By á-174621

This is a very easy, quick enchilada sauce. However, I recommend doubling this recipe when making enchiladas, particularly if your recipe calls for using some of the sauce in the chicken or beef mixture. I made eight enchiladas and it wasn't enough to cover them completely.
