Once you try this....
I used to buy that canned rojo (aka red) enchilada sauce all the time because I felt intimidated about making any at home. My biggest concern was that I didn't have the necessary ingredients...but I was wrong. This is the best and now I make a double batch and water bath can the extra for the pantry.
