Red Enchilada Sauce, Medium, 10 Ounce

This Las Palmas green chile enchilada sauce is a reliable pantry staple. It’s not trying to be homemade or gourmet, but it does exactly what it’s meant to do — make good enchiladas without a lot of extra effort. The medium heat level has a nice balance. There’s enough chile flavor and warmth to be noticeable without overpowering the dish. It works well for weeknight cooking when you want something flavorful but simple. The consistency is good for enchiladas, coating tortillas evenly without being too thick or too thin. I’ve used it with chicken and cheese enchiladas, and it holds up well during baking without drying out. Overall, this is a convenient, dependable enchilada sauce that delivers good flavor for the price. If you’re not making sauce from scratch, this is a solid option that still produces a satisfying result.

Good product

Not quite as good as homemade, but for a quick easy dinner plan this can't be beat. Just open the can and ta dah it's enchilada or burrito night! Good flavor, not overly spicy.

Great taste

The other night my husband got hungry when I was away. When I came home, he had opened up 2 cans of beans and the can of Las Palmas Enchilada sauce that I'd been saving for chicken enchilada casserole, which is what I use this sauce for. He complained that it was NOTHING like the red tomato sauce the Mexican restaurant put on his burrito. I explained that was RANCHERO sauce and totally different. He said "well this one sucks, don't buy it again." He complained that it wasn't tomato-y enough, or hot enough, to make his plain beans better, which is why they were in a mess all over my stove. The mild is very mild, it is spicy, but without much heat at all. Luckily I still had half the can, because that's all I use for my casserole dish. I do not like this sauce alone, but when mixed with tomato sauce and paired with corn tortillas and typical enchilada fillings, and topped with sour cream and/or queso fresca cheese it is great. The cans are big, too big for me - they are 28 ounces. I do like more of a tomato taste in my sauce, so I mix mine half and half and simmer it. The sauce isn't very thick, and the flavor is very deep, and the color very dark red. I wish they'd make it in a box, because the cans detract from the taste a bit, in my opinion. Some people thin it down with chicken stock. Most people I know don't use it just plain, though I am sure there are people out there that do.

Better price than at grocery store even when on sale.

as you should expect

It has good flavor, not too spicy. I bought medium and had to add heat and spice to it. And it is soooooo watery. So thin. That was a bit of a disappointment. But my enchilada casserole turned out quite good regardless.
