Best Mail Order Powder Free Red Enchilada Sauce Recipes
THE LAST RED ENCHILADA SAUCE YOU'LL NEED
This is the tastiest red enchilada sauce I have ever had! I could literally just eat it with a spoon. The secret is cocoa powder, do not miss that step! I found it on the Texas Monthly cooking forum. A lot of times I double the recipe since its so good. Serve it over enchiladas, burritos, or grab a straw! Its scrumptious!!

IRMA'S RED ENCHILADA SAUCE (SALSA DE CHILE ROJO)
I got this one from my friend, Rick Ramirez's Mom, Irma when I lived in Yuma in the early 1960's. I usually make a double batch and freeze the excess, 2 cups at a time in Sandwich size ziplock freezer bags. Cooking time includes steeping time for the chiles.
