enchilada sauce

Enchilada sauce is a flavorful, savory sauce commonly used in Mexican cuisine to add moisture and spice to dishes like enchiladas. It typically features a base of chili peppers, tomatoes, and spices such as cumin, garlic, and oregano. The sauce’s smooth or slightly thick consistency helps it coat tortillas and fillings, enhancing taste and texture. It can vary from mild to hot, depending on the types of chili peppers used. Available in canned, jarred, or homemade forms, enchilada sauce is versatile and integral to creating authentic, flavorful Mexican-style dishes.
