About Enchilada sauce
Enchilada sauce is a flavorful, bold condiment commonly used in Mexican cuisine to enhance dishes like enchiladas, burritos, and casseroles. Typically made from a base of chili peppers—such as ancho or guajillo—combined with tomatoes, garlic, onion, spices, and broth, it can be either red or green, depending on the type of peppers and other ingredients used. While enchilada sauce is rich in antioxidants from its chili peppers and tomatoes, it can vary in healthfulness based on preparation methods. Homemade versions can be more nutrient-dense and lower in sodium compared to store-bought options, which may have added preservatives or high salt content. It’s naturally low in calories and fat but can become calorie-heavy depending on how it's used in recipes. Overall, enchilada sauce is a versatile addition to many meals, offering an authentic taste of Mexican culinary tradition.
