what would the nutritional information be if I used flour tortilla? Corn tortilla always cracks when I use them. Dietitian comment: The main difference is 420 mg higher sodium per serving of 2 enchiladas. Phosphorus is 26 mg lower. You could make these with the DaVita Homemade Flour Tortillas that have only 66 mg sodium compared to 220 mg for one flour tortilla.

For your Enchilada Sauce, you list, low sodium canned tomatoes, then later, say you, ADD 1/4 teasp. SALT.....??? We do not use salt, never, and I only buy, no salt canned tomatoes. Dietitian comment: The salt is optional if you do not want to use it. For a person new to a low sodium diet a small amount of salt can make the recipe more palatable.

Can I use fresh tomatoes, instead of canned? Dietitian comment: Yes you can start with 14 ounces fresh tomato and see how it turns out. You may need to adjust the amount.

This is a good enchilada sauce, if you add cumin as suggested. I added about a teaspoon and used my stick blender to to make the sauce a smooth consistency. Went well with the chicken enchiladas!

I probably would have rated the recipe as written lower than this. We modified the recipe based on other reviewer comments, our preferences, and what my diet would allow. Our version was slightly higher in potassium. We used a huge glove of garlic instead of garlic powder. We omitted the salt. We used 2 scant teaspoons of chili powder and added 1 teaspoon of cumin. We could probably increase the chili powder and cumin more.

This one really missed the mark for us. Something was definitely missing, so I looked up other enchilada sauce recipes and they all call for cumin. I will add some next time. Also, the enchiladas were very dry.

Im confused I thought tomatoes were not allowed on the menu Moderator comment: It's all about balance and portion size. If your potassium is well controlled you can include small amounts of tomato and tomato products on a low potassium diet.1/4 cup of this sauce is equal to having one serving of vegetables so you would count this as one of the vegetable choices in your meal plan.

Bore no resemblance to any enchilada sauce I've ever had. All I could taste were tomatoes. Did not make enough to adequately cover the chicken enchiladas. Would not recommend.

hi I cant have any Red sauce or tomatoes what Can I use instead ? Moderator comment: Check out the Sauces and Seasoning recipes on DaVita.com. You could make a white sauce with the White Gravy recipe or try Chimichurri Sauce or one of the Salsa recipes as a replacement for the red sauce.

Used tomatillos instead of tomatoes. Rich and flavorful sauce. Moderator comment: tomatillos are a bit higher in potassium but still acceptable. This substitution will add about 40 mg potassium per 1/4 cup serving.
