The main difference between green enchilada sauce (verde sauce) and salsa verde is that enchilada sauce is cooked, and salsa verde is raw. Enchilada sauce also requires liquid (either stock or water), but salsa verde ingredients are simply blended together and eaten as is.
What are green enchiladas made of?
Gooey, melty mozzarella and Jack cheese, taco-seasoned shredded chicken, sour cream and corn tortillas, all slathered in mildly tangy green enchilada sauce and baked until your house smells like your favorite Mexican restaurant (in the very best way).
Can I layer enchiladas instead of rolling?
All of the familiar elements of chicken enchiladas are there – chicken, cheese, tomatoes, onions, tortillas. But instead of rolling up the filling inside the tortillas, you layer all the ingredients, like a lasagna.
How do you spice up canned green enchilada sauce?
If you want to make your green enchilada sauce spicy, you can always add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper.

Cilantro often makes an appearance in both, but more so in green salsas, which feature an overall herbal flavor. Typically red salsas are served slightly chilled, while green salsas can be served chilled or as a warm sauce. Another general rule? Red salsa is hotter than green.
Can I substitute green chili enchilada sauce for salsa verde?
It is possible to substitute salsa Verde for green enchilada sauce, but you will not get the same result. Enchilada sauce lacks that tart freshness that gives salsa Verde its appeal, and when one is substituted for the other, the overall texture and taste also change.
How do you thicken green enchilada sauce?
Mix the cornstarch with an equal amount of cold water. Stir vigorously until a paste forms. Next, add a little bit of the paste to the enchilada sauce at a time, combining thoroughly. You also want to give the cornstarch a minute or two to heat up and fully integrate into the sauce, allowing it to thicken.

Corn tortillas are traditional for enchiladas, but flour tortillas also work. Choose 7- or 8-inch flour tortillas or 6-inch corn tortillas—they fit best in most pans.
What kind of tortillas are used for enchiladas?
Tortillas: Corn tortillas are traditionally used in Mexican-style enchiladas, but I typically use flour tortillas (which are more commonly used in Tex-Mex and American-style enchiladas) since they are much easier to roll. That said, just about any style of tortillas will work in this recipe.
