Chicken Enchilada Red Sauce
The Chicken Enchilada Red Sauce is the heart of your Mexican dish. Making your own sauce is surprisingly easy and incredibly rewarding. The homemade version allows you to control the spice level and add your own personal touch. Tomato paste and broth create a vibrant base. Feel free to experiment! You can add a kick of heat with chopped chilies, a smoky depth with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or even a hint of sweetness with roasted peppers.
