I’m finally sharing my Homemade Enchilada Sauce with you guys! You guys know how often we cook Mexican food, and every time I post, people are always asking for the measurements to my sauce. To be honest, I do get lazy and tend to buy store bought sauce, but we also love to make large batches of our homemade sauce and freeze it! This recipe is extremely easy and I hope you guys try it out!

Tomatoes that we use

We used crushed tomatoes, but you can also use tomato puree. If you make this sauce, you will notice that it’s wayyy thicker than the sauce you buy at grocery stores. We grew up up with our mom making sauce with crushed tomatoes, and I actually like when it’s thicker! You get so much more flavor out of it!

How to store the sauce

I recommend buying mason jars, or re purposing sauce jars that you buy from the grocery store. The bottles save so much space, and they are really good for freezing. If you plan on using all of the sauce and you don’t want to freeze it, I would refrain from using plastic containers or anything that easily stains, because the sauce definitely leaves behind an orange-ish tint. 

Some recipes to use this sauce in
