There are several sauces that I would consider essential to make Mexican dishes taste better, these sauces are packed with lovely flavours of chillies and spices.
Today I am sharing with you an easy recipe for a Guajillo sauce that can be use for enchiladas, chilaquiles, broths, with meats, etc! It only has 5 ingredients and those are now very easy to find here in London.

I just made this salsa tonight and used it in enchiladas. It was perfect and not hard to make either. I used a plant-based chorizo as the filling for the enchiladas and mozzarella cheese. A few puya chilies were part of the salsa simply because I did not have enough guajillo chilies and I had some puyas on hand. I used 3 of each chili and put the puyas in a pan to roast before putting them into the water to boil. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written. I loved it. It’s exactly what is needed for this kind of enchilada.
