Most shelf-stable foods are safe indefinitely. In fact, canned goods will last for years, as long as the can itself is in good condition (no rust, dents, or swelling). Packaged foods (cereal, pasta, cookies) will be safe past the ‘best by’ date, although they may eventually become stale or develop an off flavor.

You’re enchilada sauce, if left at room temperature, will last up to 2 to 3 days. For that in the refrigerator, it will last up to a week approximately. The freezer will last up to 3 months, while the unopened can will last up to 2 years in a cool and dry pantry.

To further extend the shelf life of opened canned tomato sauce, freeze it: to freeze tomato sauce, place inside covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.

Reheat enchiladas at 350° just until hot in the middle, for about 20-25 minutes.
