Red Chile-Tomato Sauce - Vegetarian

Recipe #296441 | 1 hour | 30 min prep | SERVES 12 , 2 1/4 Cups (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Brandess

I do not remember where this recipe originated, but I have been making it for about a year now and have found several applications for it. I love it for enchiladas! It is also great to pour a little in a bowl and fresh chopped tomato, avocado and black beans to use as a dip for tortilla chips. TO MAKE VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY, USE VEGETABLE STOCK.
