Using Leftover Enchilada Sauce
Hey everyone! I’ve got some delicious leftover enchilada sauce that’s just too good to waste, but I’m not in the mood to make enchiladas again. It took a lot of time to prepare, and I want to find new ways to enjoy it. I’ve already considered using it for tortilla soup, but I’m looking for more creative ideas. What do you suggest? Thanks in advance!
Absolutely! There are plenty of ways to repurpose enchilada sauce. Here are a few ideas:
Shakshuka: Use the enchilada sauce as a base for shakshuka. Just simmer the sauce, crack in some eggs, and cook until the eggs are set. Serve with crusty bread for a delicious meal.
Chili: Add your leftover sauce to a pot of chili for an extra layer of flavor. It’ll work perfectly with beans, meat, or veggies.
Pizza Sauce: Spread the enchilada sauce on a pizza crust instead of traditional pizza sauce. Top with your favorite ingredients for a unique twist.
Baked Pasta: Mix the sauce with cooked pasta, add cheese and some veggies, and bake it for a delicious pasta dish.
Casserole: Layer the sauce in a casserole dish with cooked rice, beans, veggies, and cheese. Bake until bubbly for a hearty meal.
Stuffed Peppers: Use the sauce as a base when making stuffed peppers. Mix it with quinoa or rice and your favorite fillings before baking.
Savory Meat Marinade: Use the sauce to marinate chicken, pork, or beef before grilling or baking. It’ll infuse great flavor!
Dip: Heat it up and serve as a dip with tortilla chips, adding some cheese on top if you like.
Hopefully, one of these ideas inspires you to use up that delicious sauce! Enjoy!
