Notes
This green chile recipe can be used as a green chile sauce on enchiladas or tamales and it can also be eaten straight up with perhaps a flour tortilla on the side. It can be made thicker or thinner depending on what you are using it for. Merely add more broth or water.This a great sauce to make when you need to tame the heat of some really hot chiles or make a milder sauce for people that can’t handle the heat
