Enchilada Sauce {quick & easy}

You can use diced tomatoes, pureed tomatoes, or even fresh, diced tomatoes. If you use fresh tomatoes you can simmer the sauce for 10 minutes.

I love the smoky slightly spicy flavor of chipotle powder. I make my own chipotle powder using dried Chili Chipotle and a coffee bean or spice grinder. I toast the dried chilis for a few minutes, cool, and then grind to a powder using the coffee bean grinder.
