Do you have the ingredients for a red enchilada sauce that looks like it has sour cream in it?

Question

There is a Mexican restaurant in Mountain View, CA that makes a delicious red enchilada sauce that's called "Grandma's Sauce" and it has the appearance like sour cream has been added to a red enchildada sauce but I'm not so sure that it's sour cream. Anyone have a recipe that sounds like this?

Thanks for your reply

Answer 2

I learned this from a Mexican woman. One can good tomato sauce, up to half of that can of milk, whole milk is best, and then add chili powder and ground cumin a little at a time until it has the right taste. You can add hot chili pepper to it to taste as well. The main flavor is ground cumin and chili pepper. (For a 29 ounce can of tomato sauce, start with a teaspoon of ground cumin and a tablespoon of chili powder. Mix and taste. Then add more as needed.)

Answer 3

1/4 cup oil
1/3 cup onion, finely minced
1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
10 long red chiles or 1/2 cup pure ground red chile
2 cups water
2 to 3 Tbsp. flour (optional)
1/2 tsp. salt (use less if you use tomato sauce, as it is salty)
2 fresh tomatos, pureed or 1/2 to 1 can tomato sauce

PREPARATION:
1. Put chiles and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove chiles and cool under running water. Reserve cooking water. Cut off stem, cut chiles in half and remove seeds under running water.
Cut in pieces and place in blender with 1 cup water. Blend well to puree. Strain if desired.
2. In a toaster oven or in a skillet, brown the flour a little.
3. Place oil in saucepan and saute onion. When transparent, add garlic and saute for one minute. Add flour to mixture and stir well for 1 minute. Add chile puree and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add reserved cooking water plus extra water to thin if necessary. Add salt and tomato or tomato sauce, if desired. Simmer for at least 10 minutes, or while you prepare the other ingredients for enchiladas.

Top your dish with the sauce & sour cream.
