Green enchilada sauce provides a smooth, tangy base that keeps the bake moist, while salsa verde adds a fresh, zesty punch and texture. Together, they create a layered green flavor profile that complements the flour tortillas and filling.
It depends on the brand of green enchilada sauce and salsa verde you use. Most are mild to medium heat. To make it spicier, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
