Ok. This recipe is kind of confusing and it makes a ton of enchilada sauce. It is a restaurant sized recipe, I make the whole recipe and freeze the leftovers so that I only have to make it every once in a while. It is well worth it. The confusing part of the recipe is [...]

Best sauce in the world. Perfect on enchiladas and chimichangas. Oh how I love the hot yellow pepper sauce. This is spicy spicy, and is spicier when it is first made. If you don’t want it so spicy, make it a couple of days ahead of time.
4-5 hot yellow peppers sliced
4 fresh jalapenos
1 heaping tsp [...]

This sauce is a great substitute for your regular enchilada sauce. Especially good on chicken enchiladas. This is a restaurant recipe, so you might want to cut it down a bit, I usually make the whole amount and freeze the rest. This freezes really well.
4-5 lbs. peeled whole tomatillos
1 large onion
2 heaping Tbs. minced garlic
1 [...]

1 large minced onion

Heat cheese first, add all other ingredients, then finally add half and half to the right consistency. Sauce will harden quickly [...]
