    I have made the pumpkin black bean enchiladas several times and it is a winner, particularly the sauce. Echilidas are my go to add the end of a week as I can use leftovers for filling and smother in the creamy and beautiful sauce. I also use the sauce on buddha bowls, tacos, quesadillas, omelettes and even added to soup for a creamy texture. Super versatile and tasty. Thanks!!
