Yield: Yields about 3-1/2-cups sauce.
The addition of heavy cream or crème fraîche qualifies enchiladas made with this sauce as enchiladas suizas (Swiss-style enchiladas).
Make Ahead Tips
The sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to a month.
Great sauce! Roasting all the veggies really adds a great flavor! I use jalapeños instead of serranos. I usually roast 4-6, but add them to the sauce 1 or 2 at a time, tasting for heat until the spice is right. I like this sauce better without the cream, or with only 1/4-1/2 cup cream. 3/4 cup cream is a bit overwhelming. I like to add cilantro and avocado and serve it as a green salsa.
This sauce is really good!
Only thing to really plan for differently is it took a lot longer to cook down/ thicken. With all the cooking it lost some of the heat from the chilies so I added back a little red pepper flakes at the end.
Soooo good! I went light on the Serranos by only using 2, but I def could have used 3 for just a touch more heat. Other than that it was awesome!
