Saucy, comforting, and meatless, these spiced up, vegan enchiladas pair beautifully with a California Pinot Noir or Zinfandel. Bursting with flavor, this vegan dish works best with lighter or fruitier red wines that complement the spicy flavours of this hearty meal. A perfect match for cooler autumn weather!

Bake for 15 min or until crispy.
Sauce:
Combine all ingredients in a small pot or deep pan and cook on medium heat for about 15 min or until the sauce slightly thickens.
