Further discussion

It is important to note that the traditional New Mexican enchiladas are made with a red or green chile sauce instead of a traditional enchilada sauce. You can make it at home by rehydrating dried chiles and blending them with garlic, onion, and chicken broth. Also, you can use pork or even beans as the filling instead of chicken or beef.
