What is YOUR favorite way to make homemade enchilada sauce?!


Question: What is YOUR favorite way to make homemade enchilada sauce!?
I have always been making mine with the powered chili!. But lately i have been wondering what it would taste like if it was made with the pods and the powered chili!? Has anyone tried it!? My mom did many years ago, but she ruined it by putting the corn tortitas in raw!. Usually they are fried in oil to soften!.
Anyway since I have been craving enchiladas like crazy lately I have been wondering how else they are made!? Do you like yours rolled with cheese or no cheese!? or do you like them flat with cheese in between!?( I prefer mine rolled with cheese only on top,Flat with cheese in every other layer with onion!.) Onions or no oinions!? Do you like yours hot, mild or not hot!?
I love mine in between hot and mild!.
Any ideas are very much welcome
Thanks
I guess you guys know what me and my famliy are having for dinner!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
