Introduction

I love enchiladas...but.there is too much salt in the canned sauce. You can add 1 teaspoon of salt to this or to your taste. This makes three cups. I love enchiladas...but.there is too much salt in the canned sauce. You can add 1 teaspoon of salt to this or to your taste. This makes three cups.

    Made this last night and used it in the Chicken Enchilada Casserole recipe submitted by Pollygidalgo. Great pairing! The sauce was perfect (will have to make two batches of it next time however there was not enough sauce for the enchilada's in my opinion). Took pics and blogged about it today. - 1/2/10

    This was great and way easy to make! It was not as spicy as I hoped, so next time I'll have to add a little somethin, somethin! Who knew I could make enchilada sauce? - 1/16/09

    I used this with chicken enchiladas and it was so good! It was quite a hit with my 7 year old as well. It was also very easy to make. - 7/13/14
