Chipotle Enchilada Sauce

One of the best parts of enchiladas is the sauce. There are different kinds: red, green and white. The green sauce is made from tomatillos and the white is a creamy sauce. Red sauce is tomato based, but I like to add some chipotle peppers to give a deeper flavor as well as some heat. This recipe is very easy to make and tastes amazing on baked enchiladas with melted cheddar and monterey jack cheese.
