Great sauce! I usually don't like enchilada sauce, but this one was very good. Will definitely make this again.

This is a really good red enchilada sauce and will now replace the one I used to make. I recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful sauce for their enchiladas. While baking the sauce gets nice and thick and flavorful ~ I also believe the cocoa powder is the secret as I use it in my chili recipes as well. Thank you for a great recipe.
