Red Enchilada Sauce

I wanted to make burrito casserole but didn't feel like buying enchilada sauce so I tried to make my own with a recipe from Marey. We all really liked this. Instead of tomato sauce and salsa I used a can of organic diced tomatoes.

Burrito casserole is simply frozen burritos, enchilada sauce then cheese baked at 350 for 20 minutes.
