Vegan Enchilada Sauce

I have to say, I'm a huge fan of Mexican cuisine. And who doesn't love enchiladas?! But sometimes, traditional recipes can be a little heavy on the dairy and meat. That's why I love to put my own vegan spin on things.

Enchiladas can be filled with all sorts of delicious ingredients, like black beans, corn, and peppers. But the sauce is what really brings the flavor. That's why I love to make a big batch of my own vegan enchilada sauce to pour on top. It's a perfect balance of tangy, spicy, and just a little sweet, and it goes great with all those yummy veggies inside.
