Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
Serve these enchiladas hot and fresh with a dollop of nondairy sour cream, a few slices of creamy avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves for an extra burst of flavor. They are also fantastic with a side of Spanish rice or a simple salad.
Wine Advice:
With a dish this cheesy and flavorful, you need a wine that can handle the party. A crisp white wine like a bright Sauvignon Blanc or a light Pinot Grigio is the perfect companion. Their high acidity will cut through the richness of the cheese and beautifully complement the savory spices. It’s a pairing that makes every bite feel like a celebration!
