A lot of enchilada sauces are tomato based, but this one is a little closer to what they make in Mexico and it does not have tomatoes in it. This one looks quite different on the ingredient list, but it is always a crowd pleaser. The ingredients may look strange, but believe me they all work very well together and provide a great taste to Mexican night.
