Cinco de Mayo has never been celebrated in my family. It really is more of an American Holiday. However in our family now we made it an excuse to have delicious Authentic Mexican Food.
So here I share our families favorite Green Enchiladas Sauce.
My Tia Rosa is known for making this delicious sauce. While mine will never taste as yummy as hers the hubs and kids seem to enjoy it! It is not spicy at all but could def. be made spicy with the more chiles you add.
