Kittencal's Red Enchilada or Taco Sauce image

I strongly suggest to make this sauce a day ahead and refrigerate as the flavors will blend together even more, and I advise that you double amounts if you are using it for enchiladas, what you do not use may be frozen for later use, this sauce freezes very well, in fact I most always make more to have handy in my freezer --- this makes a fantastic sauce for tacos or enchiladas it is the only one that I use I never purchase bottled this is much better --- the sour cream is only optional add in for a creamy-style sauce :)

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this sauce was perfect for me. It had just a hint of heat, and it didn't overpower the other flavors in the dish. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves enchiladas or tacos.

I found this sauce to be a bit bland. I added some extra cumin and chili powder and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and my sauce turned out way too spicy. I think next time I'll use less chili powder or maybe even omit it altogether.
