I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where every other restaurant is Mexican/New Mexican. These restaurants provide a choice of "red" or "green" for the chile sauce on enchiladas. At every restaurant in town I've been to the red sauce is thickened with wheat flour. At only one restaurant is there a green sauce I can eat, only because it is literally green chiles diced and dumped on the food. All the other green sauces are thickened with wheat flour. From this experience I would say it is unwise to order enchiladas without inquiring about the sauce. I usually get tacos with salsa. Pam
