I like to make my own enchilada sauce, but you can use a pre made version if you like.
I make these in individual pots so that I can freeze them. You can just pop one out when you don’t want to cook or take one to work with you.
Scraping out the seeds of the jalapeño and the membrane inside the pod, takes all the heat out. If you want a little heat, leave 1/2 or 1 with the seeds in. Do not touch your face after scraping them, especially not your eye like I did. It feels like someone stuck a red hot poker in your eye for about 3 hours.
