To make enchiladas, warm the sauce gently in a saucepan over medium heat. Dip corn tortillas briefly in the warm sauce to soften them. Fill the softened tortillas with your desired filling, such as shredded chicken, cheese, or beans. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well-covered. Top with cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This sauce can also be used as a flavorful addition to other dishes.
