Curious as to how canned enchilada sauces would stack up against our homemade version, we tried three supermarket brands: None could compete with our homemade recipe. Our tasters were even children. Our first prices winner from our adult tasters was canned Enchilada Sauce was La Victoria Mild Enchilada Sauce. Which had enough spiciness but was not over powering and what we liked was it did not have a watery consistency. The Second winner for adults but first for children was Old El Paso Mild Enchilada Sauce. Adults found this to be too mild but were not too watery in consistency. The children liked this sauce because of its mild sweet flavor. Our third place and last place was Las Palmas mild enchilada sauce. This had a too watery of a consistency which made the enchiladas soggy and was overly spicy which over powered most of the flavor of the dish. The children would not even eat these enchiladas with this sauce. All children just pushed the plate away saying too spicy.
