Helpful hints
- Prepare sauce 2 to 3 days ahead and refrigerate. Use for a quick enchilada meal later in the week.
- When eating a dish prepared with this sauce, count as a replacement for 1 vegetable to keep potassium in balance if you are following a low-potassium diet.
- Regular canned enchilada sauces contain 150 to 400 mg sodium per 1/4 cup.
