This rich concoction gets its flavor from tomatoes, chili powder, and other spicy seasonings. Green enchilada sauce follows the same basic formula but adds fresh green chiles for a brighter taste. Westernized white enchilada sauce is usually dairy-based and uses cream soup or stock to deepen the flavor.

Is Enchilada Sauce the Same as Taco Sauce? From what I can tell, the major difference between the two is that taco sauce is thicker (mostly likely because each taco only needs a few tablespoons versus the 2+ cups required for enchiladas). The taco sauces I've tried are usually more mild too.

The main difference between red and green enchilada sauce is the type of chili that was used. Red enchilada sauce is made with red chilies (in this recipe, ground red chilies or chili powder). Green enchilada sauce is made with green chilis, tomatillos, and sometimes jalapeños, so it tends to have a larger heat range.

Is it Gluten Free? Yes! We believe this product is gluten free as there are no gluten ingredients listed on the label.

The heat of the enchilada sauces can range from mild to hot, depending on the type of chili used in the recipe. For example, Ancho chili base sauces can be mild, while the ones with serrano pepper will be hot.

Enchiladas are a traditional Mexican dish with a unique flavor and a very long history. Their delicious taste has made them a popular menu item at many Mexican restaurants. With the perfect combination of tortilla, meat, cheese, and sauce, enchiladas have become a symbol of a traditional Mexican meal.

Ranchero sauce is another good option. It's similar to enchilada sauce in taste and texture. The biggest difference is that ranchero sauce has tomatoes, and is usually a tomato-based sauce, while enchilada sauce is usually made without tomatoes.

Red Chile is usually made from exactly that, red chile's. Some onion, garlic and spices to give it some depth. While enchilada sauce does use chile's, it adds tomato paste/sauce as well as extra stock or broth giving the sauce a bit more of a sweeter taste.
