Yummy Poblano Peppers aka Chili Rillenos with Homemade enchilada sauce! 🙂. Making homemade enchilada sauce from scratch is healthy, DELICIOUS, cheap, and easy. It's also spicy, but this can be tempered a bit by adding fewer chipotle peppers. But what I love about this recipe is that it uses a WHOLE can of chipotle peppers and adobo, meaning you don't have to think.

Poblano peppers have thicker skins than bell peppers, so they are roasted first to remove the skin, much like you would do with roasted bell peppers.

1. Wash and Char peppers on stovetop in olive oil until black.. Cover with plastic wrap until steamed and skin peels off easily….

6. We have even enjoyed with rice and beans on the side.. :-).
7. Enchilada Sauce… Make a thickish.. thinnish rue. Melt whole cube of real butter over medium heat.. don't burn.. whisk in enough flour to make a thin paste and cook the flour.. like 2 mins. Continually stirring.. add salt and garlic powder to taste.. I like it pretty garlicky. 🙂 Then while whisking.. add enough water to make a gravy consistency. At the end.. add enough Chile powder to make sauce. I like it pretty red and spicy.. so almost the whole pack for me.. FYI I use only California chili powder in those cellophane bags. :-).
8. Pour over stuffed pepper and enjoy! :-).

Basically, enchilada sauce is blended red chilis or red tomatoes and seasoning. Freshly roasted poblano chiles and sour cream create a piquant sauce bathing these chicken enchiladas. Roast the poblano chiles over an open flame, or underneath a broiler I was worried about the poblano pepper sauce being even a little too spicy for Hubs but I needn t have worried. Homemade Red Enchilada Sauce – this restaurant-style enchilada sauce is simple and perfect to use for enchiladas, empanadas and even casseroles. Also note that how much chili powder and which brand you use will determine the color of the sauce.
