Canned Mild Enchilada Sauce

Once opened, transfer any unused sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate. Freezing can alter the texture slightly.

Warm the sauce gently before using for best flavor and consistency.

Stir well before using, as ingredients can separate.

Add a pinch of cumin or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Corn tortillas

Shredded chicken or beef

Black beans

Cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack)

Sour cream or Mexican crema

Cilantro

Diced onions

Using cold sauce directly from the can, which can make the dish less flavorful.

Not tasting and adjusting seasoning before serving, as canned sauces can vary in saltiness.
