1890 San Antonio Enchilada Sauce

This recipe is from cook 'em horns published by the university of texas ex-students' association. it is the only enchilada sauce recipe i use, period. homemade is always best. I have used a blender, but i don't blend all the tomatoes. i have also used a potato masher for the tomatoes for a thicker sauce. cooking and prep time to not include preparing the enchiladas. serve on beef, chicken, vegetarian...just about any kind of enchilada.
