Vegetarian Black Bean Enchiladas

These black bean enchiladas are one of my favorite vegetarian dishes. You won’t miss the meat at all, and they are very filling and tasty with all of the toppings you can add. I love to serve these with sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, and salsa. They are on the more time consuming side, so if you want to cut down some of the prep time you can always buy the enchilada sauce at the store instead of making it yourself! These vegetarian enchiladas are gluten-free, and can be turned into vegan by replacing the cheese with your favorite vegan cheese substitute (let me know if you try this, I have never tried!). Also, for a more weight-friendly version, you can go very light on the cheese or even skip it completely. The sauce gives them enough flavor to enjoy without any cheese at all!
