Receta Red Chile Gravy
Make a mild or medium smooth red sauce for enchiladas, tacos, beans, and tamales. The basic recipe is the same, but the chiles are different.
Also included is a recipe for Chile Water, which helps make a freezable chile seasoning to add to sauces, stews, etc., from the peppers left after straining the red chile sauce.
Gravy makes 3 cups, or enough for 12-16 enchiladas.
