Ingredients in Green Enchilada Sauce

This sauce is made up of classic Mexican ingredients that really make anything taste delicious. It has a kick, so if you prefer a milder sauce, leave out the jalapeño pepper or remove the seeds and membranes before dicing. On the other hand, if you like it hot, add extra jalapeños or use a spicier variety of green chilis. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post or the exact measurements.

Olive Oil: You will cook up all the vegetables in this. Yellow Onion: I love the flavor and aroma that the yellow onions bring to the sauce. Cloves of Garlic: If you don’t have cloves of garlic on hand to mince, then you can use the minced garlic from a jar. ½ teaspoon of minced garlic equals about 1 clove. Whole Jalapeño Peppers: Leave out the seeds and the membranes if you want a milder sauce. Diced Green Chiles: You can buy these cans in mild, medium, or hot. Make sure to pick what level of heat you prefer so this sauce turns out perfectly for you! Tomatillos: Make sure to peel and wash the tomatillos before dicing them up. Vegetable Broth: This acts as a base to puree all of the vegetables. Salt: This enhances all of the flavors in this green enchilada sauce. Pepper: Adds a little spice without being too much. Cumin: This adds a delicious flavor to the sauce.
