How people cook with it
This sauce is a foundational element for creating delicious enchiladas. It can also be used to add depth to other savory dishes.
- Pour over rolled tortillas with filling
- Use as a base for casseroles
- Simmer with shredded chicken or beef
- Drizzle over tacos or burritos
To prepare enchiladas, warm the sauce gently in a saucepan over medium heat. You can add a little water or broth if you prefer a thinner consistency. Once heated, dip corn tortillas briefly in the warm sauce to soften them, then fill with your chosen ingredients such as cheese, chicken, or beans. Roll the filled tortillas and place them seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are well-covered. Top with cheese and bake until bubbly and heated through. It can also be incorporated into stews or used as a dipping sauce.
