It is the season for the color orange.

That is why I love Halloween. The brightness of the color is a perfect fit for the day of the dead.

Until a week ago, I didn’t realize that Enchilada sauce is not gluten-free. The things I learn on a daily basis because of my food blog are astonishing. Someday, I might write a book.

What a boring book that would be!

Now that I am not writing the book, let us talk about the making of this sauce.

The challenge with vegan is the creamy part. How do I make it creamy without using cream?

Instead of the usual red sauce, I decided to go the creamy enchilada sauce route. Gluten-free was not enough of a challenge, so, I decided to make it vegan also.

Coconut milk is the best substitute for cream in any vegan meals. That is one of the things I have learned as a food blogger.

Coconut milk is so delicious and versatile. I have used it in pasta sauces, dumpling soup, cobbler, pancakes, coconut rice and even creamy penne pasta.

It also doesn’t add the heaviness and bad fats of cream, so, I don’t feel guilty if I get a third helping of it.

This creamy enchilada sauce is perfect for vegetarian enchiladas. I have tried it with a mini sweet pepper recipe and the results were delicious.

That recipe will be on my blog next week and I hope you will like it as much as I did.

For the flour, I used gluten-free flour which is fairly inexpensive. Ever since I discovered this gluten-free flour, I have put it in so many foods just to test it and it has passed every one of the tests. I even made some naan with it and it turned out great.

What is your favorite way to use coconut milk?
