You guys, handmade monthly is a little bit on hold today so j/k, this is not handmade monthly, it is Renny's Recipes!
The weather here has been amazing. Usually when fall rolls around here in Phoenix everything is same old same old. It is still hot, just not as hot as it was in August. This week has been cool and rainy, and it is filling us with endless joy! My little one always "want to splash puddles!"
Well, with this cooler weather I want some fall food, but I also want some Mexican food, because I am a human.
These Butternut Squash Enchiladas with Pumpkin Enchilada sauce are the perfect solution!!!
They are easy to make vegan too, just use your favorite vegan cheese instead of regular cheese and bam! Vegan.
Our house has become a gluten free house. I found these gluten free flour tortillas and I have to say, they are amazing. My toddler mostly just wanted to eat her tortilla for dinner.
I highly recommend them, even if you are not gluten free!
Anyway, the pumpkin enchilada sauce in this recipe is AMAZING! Look, when people tell me that pumpkin doesn't go with everything I know that they are wrong because I have tried pumpkin with everything and, it DOES! Pumpkin can be sweet or savory and the pumpkin with the smoked paprika is just... heavenly.
Also, you can't go wrong with a pumpkin/butternut squash combo.
Make these enchiladas, you will have no regrets.
