Someone requested a recipe for this not long ago.

I recently got a book called _Don't Panic, Dinner's in the Freezer_ and
in it was a recipe for Colorado Enchiladas. Now, I lived in Colorado as
kid and enchiladas were darn hard to find as there was one mexican
restaurant (Bonito's in Longmont and then eventually this wild place
with cliff divers in Denver maybe) at any rate, no enchiladas Colorado
or otherwise were readily available.

I decided to try them just to see. The sauce is decidedly ORANGE. I
haven't baked them yet so I can't say what it tastes like. Perhaps it
is just what the original poster was looking for. Real cooks need not
read any further as the list of canned goods will just frighten you.

Colorado Enchilada Sauce

1 - 15oz can medium green enchilada sauce
1 - 15 oz can mild red enchilada sauce
1/3 C sour cream
3 T cream or milk

Stir all ingredients together and use to make enchiladas.

Well, Bonito's isn't here any more, but we've acquired quite a few Mexican
restaurants, from chains to hole-in-the-wall places.

The name, though, probably has less to do with the state name than the fact
that it more or less means "red."

It is called "Chili Colorado" and it's a red sauce. There are a lot
of recipes on the web. DD's recipe is from Cooking Light and it's
delicious.

I thought her recipe was more complicated, but here's what I found.

Frankly, it looks like my kind of recipe. I'm not adverse to opening
a can to make enchilada sauce.
