Como fazer Red Velvet Enchilada Sauce

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the top off one head of garlic to expose the cloves.
Place the garlic head and 1/2 medium onion on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Seal the foil to create a packet. Roast for 45 minutes.
While the garlic and onion roast, cut 28 ounces (about 2 lbs) of Roma tomatoes in half.
Place the halved tomatoes in a medium saucepan with 1 cup of water.
Once the garlic and onion are roasted, squeeze the softened garlic cloves into the saucepan. Add the roasted onion and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
Bring to a simmer, partially covered, for 45 minutes.
Let the mixture cool slightly. Transfer the tomato mixture, 2-4 chipotle chilis in adobo sauce (adjust to your spice preference), and 1-2 tablespoons of adobo sauce to a food processor or blender.
Blend until completely smooth. Return the sauce to the saucepan.
Stir in 1 cup heavy cream (or 1 cup rice milk for a vegan option). Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for later use. Enjoy!
