Enchilada Sauce (Homemade/Gluten-FREE)

 


Green Chicken Enchiladas
- With Pepper Jack Cheese 
And Munster Cheese



I can already feel your eyes on that post title... 

and in your mind you might be saying:

"JO.  REALLY.  Do you have to label everything gluten-FREE???"

Unfortunately - yes. 

YES because when you start reading labels of ready-made and ready-to-eat things nearly every damn thing has gluten in it.  

So if you're like me and want to make something, say enchiladas, ALL the components (okay - nearly ALL) ends up being something YOU have to make yourself.


My enchiladas, green or red, are layered in a 9X13 pan generously rubbed down with olive oil or cooking spray.

Next - a 1/2 cup of sauce spread on the bottom.

20-24 Corn tortillas are at the ready, warmed on the griddle and bendy.

Corn tortillas are filled with shredded rotisarie chicken, shredded pepper jack cheese and a big spoonful of enchilada sauce.

Once all the corn tortillas are filled, rolled and tucked into the 9X13 pan, the entire collection gets 1 cup of enchilada sauce spread over the top with a final layer of pepper jack cheese.

Cover with foil and bake at 400 for 30 minutes.

Take of the foil and bake at 400 for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has some toasty brown spots.

Serve hot with salad and fresh fruit.
