The basic recipe is from a mexican restaurant but I have changed it over the years to make the "ultimate Enchilada Sauce". We use the same sauce on our poutine. Our friends beg me for the recipe! We have also used it as a dip for bbq chicken.

So sorry, but this was certainly not the best ever for me. The sauce (using all of the water you list in the recipe) makes this sauce less thin than a packet of taco sauce you get at Taco Bell. I had to add way more cumin, way more garlic powder, and some mexican spice to make it taste less like water. Then, I had to let the sauce reduce by simmering for a couple of hours. This just didn't work for me.

    Not sure where Katchick went wrong but we loved this recipe. No issues with the water as it simmered down and made a nice thick sauce (not to thick though) I'v made the recipe a few time already and would suggest it to anyone. If you are worried about the water as Katchick's review stated, cut back on the amount of water, again I had no issues.

    I made this recipe just as it was. WOW my husband and kids just loved it. you could taste the spice but it was not too hot. I added more cumin (we love it at our house) I added more water as I like the sauce thin. I can't say enough about this recipe. Thank you so much for posting it.
