  2. I know this recipe makes 2 cups, but is a serving 2 cups as well? If so that is 78 sodium MG for 2 cups? That seems a small amount of sauce for 2 cups……

    thanks

  4. I made the sauce for enchiladas. I found soft taco tortillas that was lower sodium and were the perfect size. The sauce was amazing! Family said it so much better than canned sauce! Thank you!

  5. I just made a double batch so I can have some on hand in the freezer. I also made a big batch of pinto beans (unsalted) to freeze for refried beans.
