Notes
- This recipe makes an enchilada sauce with just a little spice to it. For spicier enchilada sauce, you can add more cayenne pepper. To make the sauce mild, omit the cayenne pepper and use a mild chili powder.
- If the enchilada sauce is thicker than you like it, stir in a little more broth to thin it out.
