What enchilada sauce do you use? We used to use Trader Joe’s which was great but has been discontinued! 😩 We also add a can of mild roasted green chilis which adds a nice flavor. 🙌🏻
I’ve been using Las Palmas Enchilada sauce for quiyte some time. If you have a favorite that should work as well. Good luck!
