Green Enchilada Sauce

Store unopened cans/jars at room temperature. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. Freezing can alter the texture slightly.

Warm the sauce gently before using it to coat enchiladas for a smoother consistency.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, lime juice, or a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.

Blend in a dollop of sour cream or crema for a richer, milder sauce (note: this makes it not vegan).

Use it as a base for soups or stews for an extra layer of flavor.

Not tasting and adjusting seasoning before serving.

Using it straight from the can/jar without warming, which can lead to a less integrated flavor profile.

Overheating the sauce, which can sometimes make it taste bitter.
