About

Enchilada sauce was a condiment I grew up with, but I never knew what was in it until I made my own. It’s a simple sauce for tacos and perfect for the Black Bean & Sweet Potato Enchiladas. I don’t have much of a tolerance for spicy foods, so this recipe is rather mild, but you are welcome to add more jalapeños if you’d like it spicier.
