This easy recipe for gluten free homemade enchilada sauce is made in the blender with tomato sauce. It's simple to make your own enchilada sauce from scratch. I have a yummy recipe for skillet enchiladas to go with this sauce.
If you don't have a blender you could also use a food processor or immersion blender to blend this sauce until the sauce has a smooth consistency. You want to be sure to get the chipotle chilis thoroughly blended. They give the sauce a nice smoky flavor.

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.
