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 into the warm sauce until softened, then fill them with your desired ingredients like shredded chicken, beef, or cheese. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top, sprinkle with cheese, and bake until bubbly and heated through. It can also be used as a flavorful addition to soups, stews, or as a base for other sauces.
