I love condiments. They have saved many a dish and helped me to get through tired meals. One can really only eat chicken so much, so here’s a fab Paleo-friendly recipe for flavorful enchilada sauce. It goes deliciously with my taco chicken!
You can actually make this enchilada sauce in advance and refrigerate for up to a week, or portion it out and keep the rest in the freezer. Let’s get to it:
Gather your ingredients: Bacon fat (or your lard of choice), tomato sauce (one without all the nasty fillers in it), chicken stock, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and salt.
Melt the fat in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the onions and garlic and saute until soft and translucent.
Toss in the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Crank up the heat and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, turn the heat to medium-low and simmer until thick enough to coat a spoon.
Delicious. Enjoy this quick and easy Paleo-friendly recipe! Aloha!
