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 in the warm sauce, fill them with your chosen ingredients like cheese, chicken, or beans, and roll them up. Place the rolled enchiladas 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 heated and served as a flavorful topping.
