Recipes »  Marinades and Sauces  »  Sauce

This sauce is a staple in my house, if i have this sauce in the fridge, there are so many wonderful recipes that can be made, it will turn your breakfast into one you will think you were sitting on the beach in Puerta Vallarta, Enjoy!

"I had a leftover beef roast so I shredded the meat and simmered it in this sauce for twenty minutes after frying the sauce for 6 minutes. I served with soft warm corn tortillas and black beans with rice. It was delicious and no one knew they were eating left overs. I notice there is mention of vinegar in the instructions but not in the ingredient list. I would like clarification on that as we will be making this again."

I dont add flour to this, i just reduce it down and it thickends on its own, but masa works well to, the lime juice is a great addition,

A wonderful recipe! I also added a canned chipotle chili pepper and some lime juice. It was great.

I loved this sauce...I made a few changes,though. I added one canned chipotle pepper , added some lime juice, couple of tsps of sugar, more chicken stock and thickened the sauce with masa flour. I let it simmer for 20 minutes. It was outstanding...very authentic. Great over burittos, as an enchilada sauce, for shredded meat, etc. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

I use it for lots of food for a party or get-together I also throw in floured and fried stew meat and cook all day in the sauce then serve with rice and tortillas... YUM

This sauce will be unbelievably good if you use a real good stock, it makes a world of difference. and roasting the garlic and onion gives great flavor to, and dont burn the chiles, [I posted this recipe.]
