Green Enchilada Sauce

The Best Green Enchilada Sauce

This is my Green Enchilada Sauce recipe.  It’s as good as it gets!  I had several requests to make it after I posted the Red Enchilada Sauce and since I’m planning on making Chili Verde for my next Video recipe, I thought I better get on this so you can have all the sauce ingredients to make that as well.

What’s the Secret?

I made this with fresh Tomatillo Tomatoes and Anaheim Peppers.  It has Onions, Garlic and a few dry ingredients that real help lift the natural flavors in this sauce.  There’s only a few minutes of prep and only 10 minutes of cook time, so you can crank this sauce out fast.  It goes great with Chili Verde and it makes fantastic Chicken Enchiladas and I’ll post that recipe link down below along with the Red Enchilada Sauce I mentioned.
