Is enchilada sauce spicy?
This sauce has a very mild, deep spiciness from the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. If you would like your sauce to be less spicy you can add less chipotle peppers. You could also add less chili powder.
This homemade gluten free enchilada sauce is spicier by itself straight out of the blender. Once you make your gluten free enchiladas the sauce will be less spicy.
