My hubby wanted some enchiladas for Sunday dinner. I don't like the canned enchilada sauce so I set out to find a homemade sauce to try. I quickly found one that I had bookmarked from Pam at For The Love of Cooking. She has the most amazing recipes and I love browsing through her blog when I'm looking for something special. I topped our Beef Taco and Cheese Enchiladas with the sauce, and they were great. I will share that recipe with you tomorrow.
Ingredients:
1 T canola oil
1/2 cup yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T chili powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried Mexican oregano
kosher salt
black pepper
1 - 28 oz can whole peeled tomatoes
1 tsp honey
In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, heat up the canola oil. Add the yellow onion, salt, and pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and cook for 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes by hand and add them to the pan. Add the honey and stir well. Bring to a simmer, cover, and turn heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 30 minutes, turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly. Puree in a food processor in two batches, being careful not to overfill since the liquid is hot. Use on your favorite enchiladas or Mexican dish. Enjoy!
Thanks for this recipe Rhondi. I agree with you. I'd rather have a homemade sauce anyday! Saving this one for sure! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. I am so glad you guys liked the sauce as much as we did. Looking forward to seeing your enchilada recipe! Thanks for the link back to my site.
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely with you on the sauce. Store-purchased enchilada sauce is just not the same!
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy. I have been on the hunt for a good sauce!
