Enchilada Sauce with Chocolate Recipe
Enchilada sauce with chocolate creates an incredibly rich, complex flavor profile that elevates any Mexican dish to gourmet status. This sophisticated sauce combines aromatic spices like cumin and cinnamon with semisweet chocolate, creating depth that rivals traditional mole preparations. The addition of chocolate adds subtle sweetness and richness that perfectly balances the chile heat for an unforgettable taste experience.
Onion and garlic are sautéed with cumin, cinnamon, and chili powder, then simmered with chicken broth. Blending in semisweet chocolate is the key to creating this authentic taste of Mexico. This is a great enchilada sauce without tomato sauce.
