Enchilada Sauce Mix
This recipe was found in Gifts from the Southwest Kitchen. The printed recipes say to put this in a 8 oz jar; however, I found that was way to large. I used a 4 oz jelly jar and it worked very well. This makes a wonderful addition to a gift basket with a bag of masa harina and a tortilla press.
