Yup, I’m pretty enchilada obsessed and this meatless version did not disappoint. Chicken Enchiladas is usually my go-to, but when I want to go meatless these are delish. For a vegetarian summer option, these Vegetarian Zucchini Enchiladas are also wonderful!

Because of my love affair with enchiladas, I always make my own enchilada sauce and keep it frozen, it’s so much better than canned! Of course, if  you’re pressed for time store bought enchilada sauce would be fine. Canned beans are inexpensive so this is a great meal if you’re on a budget.

What to serve with Vegetarian Enchiladas

Butternut squash has so many health benefits; it’s low in fat, loaded with fiber, rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and beta-carotene, just to name a few. Combine that with black beans which are super high in fiber and protein and you have one healthy dish. It’s not only satisfying but it tastes great too. Enjoy!
