When the Covid Pandemic of 2020 hit, I wasn’t able to find my favorite enchilada sauce. Since my favorite sauce is made from hatch chilies, I decided to buy the chili powder online. I had this recipe, in my arsenal, but it got an upgrade, with the hatch chilies. This turned out great, for me. Before pandemic, a can of enchilada sauce was $.99. Now it’s $3.50! Homemade is a money saver, and it tastes better, too!

If you have the Vitamix Ascent Series, or Venturist Series, with the soup function; you can make this sauce in the blender. It takes approximately six minutes for this recipe to be completed. The result is a thicker, smoother, enchilada sauce. If you want a little thinner sauce, using the Vitamix blender; reduce the flour to one tablespoon.
