This was GREAT! I was concerned for two reasons. One, most sauces have some sort of oil in them and this didn't, so I didn't know how that would effect the sauce. Two, it was very thin, even after cooking it down in the pan. Silly to worry, though! The sauce was perfect without any oil and once the enchiladas baked, the sauce thickened up perfectly during the baking process. So easy and so tasty!!!!

This is a really good red enchilada sauce and will now replace the one I used to make. I recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful sauce for their enchiladas. While baking the sauce gets nice and thick and flavorful ~ I also believe the cocoa powder is the secret as I use it in my chili recipes as well. Thank you for a great recipe.
