Green Chile Enchilada Sauce Recipes
Green chile enchilada sauce is a tangy, mildly spicy sauce made from roasted green chiles, tomatillos, and spices. It's a staple in Tex-Mex and New Mexican cuisine, adding depth and heat to enchiladas, burritos, and casseroles.
Unlike red enchilada sauce, which is tomato-based, green sauce relies on tomatillos and green chiles for its bright, herbaceous flavor. It can range from mild to hot depending on the chiles used.
This versatile sauce works well as a simmer sauce for chicken or pork, a base for green chile stew, or even as a dipping sauce for tortilla chips. Its acidity and heat complement rich ingredients like cheese, sour cream, and avocado.
