TOMATILLO ENCHILADA SAUCE



Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce image

This sauce is an excellent companion in chicken or beef enchiladas. I make a large batch from the huge tomatillo harvest I get, and then freeze it into quart-sized freezer bags to use during the year. There are never any leftovers when enchiladas are made with this sauce!
