    • Note on salt content - The type of enchilada sauce you use seems to effect the saltiness of this dish. I used La Preferida this time and it seemed just a wee bit salty. I suggest using 1/2 teaspoon of salt instead of 1 teaspoon and then salt according to your your taste toward the end of the cooking process.
    • Note on chili powder - I prefer to use Morton & Bassett brand. It is the best chili powder there is IMHO. I have made this chili with other brands before and it never turns out as good.
