Red Enchilada Sauce

This enchilada sauce is a cinch to make but it isn’t lacking in flavor.  I’ve made several more in-depth enchilada sauces which involve rehydrating a variety of dried chiles, chopping vegetables and blending the sauce until smooth.  This quick and easy enchilada sauce stands up well to the complicated, time-consuming versions.  In a side-by-side taste test, my family chose this one as the favorite.  (Not bad, especially when considering how simple it is and how quickly it comes together!) 

I have given rough quantities of the spices that I use but I usually end up doctoring the sauce to taste.  If you have access to different types of chili powders, such as ancho chile powder, using a mix of them adds depth to the flavor.
