Homemade Green Enchilada Sauce with Tomatillos
This is my go-to enchilada sauce recipe. It is definitely better than the canned stuff and you can use it for anything! I use it for enchiladas, Mexican casseroles, and as a smother for burritos. Blend the sauce with equal parts plain Greek yogurt for a delicious green chile 'sour cream' for your next taco bar! I always save the spicy liquid that remains in the pot for a broth for soups.

  • Transfer the vegetables to a blender with a slotted spoon, allowing the cooking liquid to drain back into the pot. Cover the blender and hold the lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times to combine. Blend until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

Cook's Note:

Chicken stock may be substituted for water, if desired.
