This was excellent! I did add some seasonings (1 t. mexican oregano, 1 t. cumin, 1/2 t. epasote and 1 clove of garlic) to the sauce, and used a mix of 1 serrano, 1 habanero and 2 jalapenos as the peppers. Sauce was really fantastic and could be used on a lot of things. I plan to make a big batch and freeze it to have on hand. Thanks for a great recipe.

I love to cook. I am just learning but I feel I have done well. I love this site, it is where I get 99% of my recipes. I am known for my Green Enchilada Casserole. I might just post it and see if others love it as much as my husband and I do.
