Las Palmas Enchilada Sauce Recipes – National Sauce Month
I was introduced to Las Palmas enchilada sauce over 25 years ago. It is the only sauce I use, when making enchiladas. I am going to move out of my comfort zone and try new Las Palmas recipes.
March was National Sauce Month and many Latinos and I, can never resist an authentic Mexican Sauce!!!
Many Latinos love to accompany their meals with a sauce and also enjoy indulging in saucy dishes – and although they don’t have a specific day or month to savor it, it’s always good to have an excuse to enjoy this delicious ingredient. To celebrate National Sauce Month, renowned chef Vicente del Río, owner of Frida Mexican Cuisine and founder of the Taste of Mexico Association, created two exclusive recipes: an exquisite Chicken Tinga and succulent Swiss Enchiladas prepared with the authentic Mexican LAS PALMAS® sauces!
LAS PALMAS® sauces are made with tomatoes, tomatillos and real chiles, as well as other ingredients and spices that have been part of Mexican cuisine for centuries. In addition, these recipes are based on those that have been passed down from generation to generation; thus, the results are dishes with authentic Mexican flavor!
I have included some recipes I am sure you will enjoy!!!
