Ingredients:
1 Tbl Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic
1 tsp. Onion – I added a little more
1/2 tsp. Oregano
2 1/2 tsp. Chili Powder
1/2 tsp. Basil
1/4 tsp. Cumin
1/4 cup Salsa
1 14.5 can Diced Tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and saute until the onions become translucent. Add Chili powder, Oregano, Basil, Cumin, Salsa, Tomato Sauce and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Mix together. Bring to a boil. Then with an immersion blender, blend all ingredients in sauce pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 min.
Ingredients:
1/2 Chicken
Enchilada Sauce from above
14 or so corn tortillas
Cheese
1. Make the enchilada sauce above.
2. Pull chicken off bone and shred with two forks. Place in a bowl.
3. Take a skillet and heat on med high heat. Place corn tortilla on skillet for 1 minute and flip for 1 minute. Remove from skillet. This makes the tortillas easier to roll.
4. Place two tablespoons of shredded chicken in the center of tortilla and roll. This should be easier, since the tortilla is warmed.
5. Spray a 9X13 baking dish. Place enchilada seem side down in dish.
6. Repeat steps 3 -5 until baking dish is full or chicken is all used.
7. Pour enchilada sauce over the top of all enchiladas.
8. Top off with cheese and bake at 350 for 30 min.
Let me know if you try this awesome dish. I loved the flavor and freshness of these. I served it with some re-fried beans and Spanish rice. Have you ever made enchiladas?

Sounds delicious! I make my own enchilada sauce too.
These look yummy! We LOVE Mexican food! And I've never made my own enchilada sauce… I might have to try it.. even though I really don't like cooking too much!
I wanted to thank you for the sweet comment you left me, but I couldn't reply to your email. It came back as noreply-comment. I thought you might want to know.
Thanks. I am not sure why it is doing that. I may have typed my email address incorrectly. Everything seems to be working on my end.
You will need to give me your recipe. I would love to try it.
Your enchiladas look fabulous! To be honest, I like a red sauce over a white sauce any day, so these enchiladas really appeal to me. Great recipe!
Enchiladas are one of my favorites! These look so delish and I'm always looking for a tasty red sauce. I'm pinning for later. Oh…is this a spicy red sauce or pretty mild?
Wow thanks for Pinning this. I am truly honored. This is a very mild sauce, but you could spice it up by adding some jalapenos or hot sauce.
Would you believe I have never had an enchilada? This makes me definitely regret that. Thanks for sharing at our party this week.

WOW! I feel so honored. Thank you so much for this kind award Miz Helen.
Funny because I had the same problem and a ton of free organic tomato paste and no enchilada sauce so I went searching on the internet to make some homemade enchilada sauce. The great thing is that I make a huge batch and use one and freeze the other three or four in plastic bags so that I have them for next time. I also created something call Enchilada Smash for my family because I was too lazy to roll the tortillas so I just made it in a round casserole dish a little bigger then the tortillas. The great thing is that fits into an even small place in the fridge 🙂
That sounds delicious. We were just talking how great things come from mistakes. I hope you share on your blog soon.
