Green Enchilada Sauce

I grew up in New Mexico so there are a lot of Mexican dishes that remind me of the amazing food there. There's just something special about the food in New Mexico. It tastes better and I don't know if they cook things differently or if I'm just sentimental. I have never been able to explain it. Anyway, enchiladas have always been one of my favorite dishes. This recipe is my recipe for enchilada sauce.

This enchilada sauce is not only flavorful but packs a bit of a punch and it takes less than 10 minutes to make!

1. The size of your cuts don't necessarily matter for this recipe because its all going to be blended at the end. If your in a hurry than you will save more time by dicing the peppers and onion.

2. Saute the onion, peppers, and garlic in some butter over medium-high heat until tender, stirring occasionally.

3. Season with salt, pepper and cumin.

Blend It!

1. Add sauted vegetables to a blender or food processor.
