Yummy Veggie Enchiladas

My husband loves enchiladas but I haven't made them since cutting cheese from our diet, when I came across this recipe I knew I had to try it! It was so yummy! I wouldn't be posting it if it wasn't! We had our friends over for dinner and they seemed to really like it too. I think next time I make this I will put it all together the night before and stick it in the fridge until it's time to bake it for dinner the next day. There are a few steps but all are easy and fairly quick. Recipe inspired by simple healthy tasty and modified to our liking
