This is an easy recipe for homemade enchilada sauce. Most of the Mexican recipes you find posted online cheat and use ready made sauce which you can’t find in Germany. This easy enchilada sauce takes about 20 minutes to make and you can make it as hot as you like. The quantities of sauce I have given here is enough for 2 meals. As the sauce uses powders rather than fresh herbs you can store half of the sauce in the fridge in a sterilised jar for 2 to 3 weeks.
