Mom’s Enchilada Sauce
------------- Advertisement - Continue Reading Below -------------
My mother has made these enchilada’s for as many years as I can remember. I remember us girls would make an assembly line and one would fry tortillas, one put on the hamburger, one the sauce, one the cheese and roll the enchilada and put it in the pan. I think mom would add the sauce to the pan and top with cheese. One of us was the runner and they would take the empty plate to the first person. Great memory. Delicious enchilada’s!
