When we lived in San Diego we had some wonderful friends that loved cooking authentic Mexican food.  We always had fun when we came over for dinner, they taught me how to make this meal.  Since it is my husbands favorite (I know, I am always saying that) I decided it would be a great one to put on here. Begin by making your own homemade enchilada sauce.  I promise it’s easy and it tastes SO much better than canned sauce, plus you can really make the flavor and spiciness just how you want it.  Basic Green Enchilada Sauce 1.) jalapeno or serrano peppers  (or a mix of each, if I use jalapenos I would add 1 for mild and 6 for spicy.) 2.) tomatillos (these are so good and grow like weeds in my garden, for one batch of sauce I would boil around 8 medium tomatillos) Boil peppers and tomatillos around 5 minutes.
