Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.

For serving

½ cup sour cream (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with a small amount of neutral oil and set aside.
2
Make the enchilada sauce: Heat 1 tbsp of the neutral oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant and just golden at the edges, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, ancho chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika and stir constantly for 1 minute, until the paste darkens slightly and smells toasty. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and remove from heat.
