Enchilada Red Sauce

Enchiladas are one of my favorite dishes to make. I make more of a Tex-Mex style enchilada which consists of 4 main components. That is corn tortillas, meat (beef or chicken), cheese and the sauce. By sauce, I mean "The Red Sauce". Usually most use a seasoning packet, with added water and tomato sauce or even use the stuff out of cans. Well I am not one to use canned or packaged enchilada sauce, but I won't shame those who do. I'm not a food snob and understand the convenience of using premade ingredients. Enchilada red sauce can be tricky especially if you don't know where to start. Well you're in luck! I have a recipe that's a good place to start.
