I grew up eating homemade enchiladas. I mean authentic Mexican enchiladas. My mom made her own sauce. When I got married I craved my mom's homemade enchiladas. I would cheat and buy the canned enchilada sauce, but was always disappointed it didn't taste like mom's. I finally asked my mom for the recipe but was frustrated after she told me it was a little of this and a bit of that. That's how all of her recipes are...ugh! That didn't cut it for me, I needed measurements so I was on the search for her recipe and found this one years ago and it has been on our favorites list ever since. It's almost as good as the real thing! :)
