enchilada sauce
Red Mexican condiment
Enchilada sauce is a chili-based sauce used in Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking, poured over tortillas filled with meat, cheese, or beans before baking.
It comes in red (from dried chiles) or green (from tomatillos and green chiles) varieties.
The phrase the whole enchilada means everything—the entire matter or all of something.
