I've done a good bit of this kind of thing. I would recommend pulsing your chiles in a food processor with a bit of cornmeal...this helps them bind and break down into a good, thick paste. Then, simmer with some chicken or vegetable stock/broth (I wouldn't recommend beef) and cook it down until your sauce reaches your desired consistency and spoon over your enchiladas.
Alternatively, you can mix your chili paste with fresh herbs (I love me some cilantro, but oregano is a good addition to Latin cooking as well) and a bit of lime juice to give it a brighter, more floral finish.

Broke down and got two bottles from Heatonist.com.
First is Los Callientes (rojo) from First We Feast. #5 on Hot Ones for several seasons now.
Next is Hot Thai Green from Seed Ranch, #6 this season. Not to be confused with Seed Ranch’s normal Thai Green which I find pretty mild but tasty.
I’m excited, will report back after tasting.

New delivery:
Seed Ranch Hot Thai Chili (Hot Ones #6 this season) — green Carolina reaper, Serrano, lemongrass and spices.
Heatonist’s Los Calientes (Hot Ones #5) — Serrano, habanero, fruit and tomatillos.
Dirty Dick’s Hot Pepper Tropical — habanero and tropical fruits.
Hell Fire Detroit — between 100,000 and 300,000 scoville — Fire-roasted habanero and vinegar.
Heatonist’s The Last Dab (Hot One’s top of spice mountain for years) — supposedly over 2 million scoville.
Excited. And scared. Loved the first two before, never had the other three yet.
Good luck with the last dab. Sounds a bit too hot for me.
Ok, had to try The Last Dab.
A drop or two on a bite of food was tasty and had a really nice burn. Borderline painful but not really.
More than that would kill me. Cannot imagine a chicken wing slathered in it.
Definitely has a place in my pantry. But will be judicious in use.

Came here to post about some spicy food I ate at a bar last night in the Tennessee smokey mountains. I soon realized after reading some of the posts here, I'm a noob and have swam out to deep when in regards to spicy food. Yeesh, you guys are mad men.
