Even in the mists of a snow storm, I filled in for Mark's spinning class tonight. I did have people show up for class. Wow, that was amazing despite the blowing snow. I arrived home tonight really hungry, so I decided it would be Enchilada night. I took a picture of my favorite enchilada sauce that I prefer to use when making enchiladas. Hatch is the best.....well, in my book that is. The sauce is rich, thick and flavorful. I highly recommend using the Hatch brand. It's hard to find, but you might find it at a food co-op or Mexican market.
Someday I hope to visit Hatch, New Mexico during their green chili festival.
My Chicken Enchiladas turned out really tasty, but that might just be because I ran out of regular sharp cheddar cheese, so I secretly used some of the five-year old cheddar cheese that bike man bought weeks ago. Oops, my secret is out!I used just a little, especially since it was $8.99/lb.
All I can say is, it's like the difference between using butter or margarine. We all know butter is superior right? Well, aged cheddar is truly a little piece of heaven.
Mmmmm. Looks delicous. Perfect for a windy, cold, snowy night. What store do you find the Hatch sauce at?
ReplyDeleteChris...Viroqua's Food Co-op is where I buy it now, but I've also found it at a Mexican food store in Southern WI. I think I will start looking for in Minneapolis too.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The Viroqua Food Co-op is awesome. Unfortunately I don't get there often. This sauce sounds like one more good reason to go back (once the weather improves!).
ReplyDeleteYummy looking. And why did I not ger a little taste? Hummmm?
ReplyDeleteThat looks really delicious. I'm going to try making that sometime this week I think. Tim would love it.
ReplyDeleteI found the Hatch green chile enchilada sauce at the Target in Eau Claire today. However, this one is medium and it looks like the one you have pictured is mild. I look forward to trying it.
