Home Made Red Enchiladas Sauce with Roasted Tomatoes

I love Mexican food and Once a week I always make it too. Its been long since I have posted any Mexican recipe and I was going thru it and realize I don't have basic enchiladas sauce recipe on blog and without any delay I made it so I can share it with you all. This sauce is very versatile, you can use it on enchiladas, chimichanga or any other Mexican dishes where you need sauce. This is basic red sauce, other sauces will follow also. I like to prepare with basic ingredients which everyone have in their pantry, does not require any fancy gadgets or spices. What's the use of recipe where you have to buy its ingredients just to make it once and if GOD forbid if your family doesn't like it , it goes waste. This sauce is perfect for 4 enchiladas.

Ingredients :

4 big red tomatoes
1 guajillo pepper soaked in water
2 Kashmiri dry red chilies (just for color)optional
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp. Mexican seasoning
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
salt to taste
1 tsp.oil


Method:

First soak guajillo pepper in water so it become soft, at least for 10 minutes.
Roast tomatoes, garlic (don't peel it just roast it as it is), Kashmiri red chili until its charred from all the side.
Let it cool it.
Then put it in grinder tomatoes, peeled garlic, Kashmiri red chili and guajilli chili (removed the seeds from inside). Grind it till its become nice and thick puree. No need to add water.
Heat a pan , add oil in it. When its hot, add the puree, add paprika, garlic powder, salt and Mexican seasoning and boil it on low flame for good 10-15 minutes.
Stir it in between.
When there is no bubbles left, turn off the gas and let it cool down for your usage, otherwise sauce will leave water and your main dish will ruined.
Use as it is required. You can store this by putting it in ice tray and use it when ever needed.


You can use it for Enchiladas
