I wanted to use enchilada sauce in a Mexican-style casserole recipe calling for tomato sauce. This was intended to give extra spiciness and some thickness to the sauce. It worked out quite well, based on several different recipes. Most recipes called for a large amount of sauce, so I also cut this one down to the amount that I needed.
