These easy vegetarian enchiladas are saucy, cheesy and so flavorful!

My husband Kurt said they were the best enchiladas he’s ever had! And he’s the guy that eats meat at every meal, so for him to say a vegetarian dish is the “BEST EVER” is complete validation in my book!

That, and the fact that they really are the best ever and I’m pretty sure I’m making these every week from now on!
