“I made this for my family tonight. We really liked it. I think my personal preference would be just a bit less onion or to sauté them before adding. My husband insisted on adding extra cheese. I'm looking forward to making my own sauce for next time. Thanks fo” — a cook, 5.0★
“This enchilada sauce is easy to make and flavorful. It's not too spicy. I followed the recipe as written, except I had lemons so I used them. They added a nice brightness to the enchiladas.” — a cook, 5.0★
