Hi all! Is enchilada sauce usually hot or spicy? I'm making enchiladas for the first time and want to know what to expect. Do I need to prepare my taste buds? Thanks!

Hey there! Enchilada sauce can vary, but it's typically a bit spicy with a nice kick. If you're sensitive to heat, you might want to taste a bit first or go for a milder version. Enjoy your enchiladas!

Hey! Enchilada sauce can be as hot or mild as you like—it depends on the recipe. Some are spicy and pack a punch, while others are more mellow. You can always adjust the heat level to suit your taste!
