I was thinking like you Charlie. Some restaurants serve a sort of suiza
sauce where they make a mild red sauce and add cream/sour
cream/evaporated milk to it. Normally it's a white sauce but sometimes
I've seen it orange colored.

Here's a rendition I spotted online that might fill the bill

Enchilada Suiza Sauce
8 large tomatoes
11/2 tbsp oil
6 chiles de arbol, lightly toasted
1 pasilla or guajillo chile (pasilla is milder), lightly toasted
1 large white onion, quartered
6 cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup water
1 cup crema media ácida or American sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste


In large skill, heat oil and cook tomatoes until blackened and softened,
about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, soak chiles in water for 15 minutes to
soften. Remove stems, seeds and membranes if desired. In food processor,
blend together tomatoes, chiles, onion, garlic, water and crema or sour
cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper and pour into a large
saucepan. Heat thoroughly.
