Traditionally enchilada sauce is made from dried red chilli peppers, soaked and ground into a sauce with seasonings. This red sauce is called "enchiladas con chili colorado".


Apart from chillie sauce, there can be other variations, such as

An enchilada made with tomato sauce instead of red chillies is called "entomatada".

Green enchilada sauce made tomatillos and green chillies is called "enchiladas verdes".

Similarly enchilada made with mole instead of chillie sauce is called an "enmolada".
