To prepare enchiladas, warm the sauce gently in a saucepan over medium heat. Dip corn tortillas briefly in the warm sauce before filling them with your choice of ingredients, such as shredded chicken, cheese, or beans. Place the filled tortillas in a baking dish, cover with more sauce, and top with cheese. Bake until bubbly and heated through. It can also be used as a base for chilaquiles or as a flavorful addition to soups and stews.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to red enchilada sauce, this green version offers a brighter, tangier flavor profile due to the tomatillos. The roasted poblano peppers contribute a mild, earthy heat that is distinct from the deeper, sometimes smokier notes found in red sauces. This makes it a versatile choice for those who prefer a less intense spice level.
