And this time of year, just days away from Cinco de Mayo, Mexican is definitely on my brain! To kick off the celebrations this year, I wanted to make a yummy gluten free sweet potato and chicken enchilada casserole and the base of it is this super easy, 10 minutes and it's ready gluten free, vegan and vegetarian-friendly red enchilada sauce.
