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. Dip corn tortillas briefly in the warm sauce to soften them before filling with your choice of meat, cheese, or vegetables. Arrange the filled tortillas in a baking dish, pour the remaining sauce over the top, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. It can also be used as a flavorful addition to soups, stews, or as a zesty topping for tacos and nachos.
