Steps:
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in the saucepan on medium heat.
- Sauté the minced onion in the butter, about 5 minutes or until the onion turns a light golden color.
- Add the cream cheese in with the onion, stirring 'til it melts.
- Then add the sour cream, heavy whipping cream, green chiles, salt, pepper, shredded cheddar, and shredded Monterey Jack to the mixture.
- Let the sauce simmer, constantly stirring, 'til it begins to thicken. It'll probably take about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Then if you want to add tomatoes to your sauce, you can stir them in. At this point, you'll want to turn the heat to low and just keep your sauce warm while you make and assemble the crab enchiladas.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease a 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a skillet.
- Then sauté the minced garlic, onion, and red pepper in the oil, about 5 minutes, or 'til it's softened.
- Then in a large bowl, add the crab meat, the cooked veggies, lemon juice, seasoning, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese.
- Mix everything together really well.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave by placing between a couple of damp paper towels and heating 'til warmed.
- Spread about a cup of the white sauce into the bottom of your greased baking dish.
- Add a heaping tablespoon of the crab meat mixture to each corn tortilla, loosely wrapping each one.
- Place each crab enchilada, seam side down, in the baking dish on top of the sauce.
- Spread the remaining sauce over the finished crab enchiladas, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake your sour cream white sauce crab enchiladas at 350° F for about 40-45 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the enchiladas are cooked thru. Garnish with green onions, and serve with fresh tomatoes, avocado, salsa, and sour cream.

CRAB ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
ALL SUMMER LONG we find thousands of uses for crab. Crab soup, crab salad, crab sandwiches-there's no dish that doesn't taste better with crab. We created this recipe with leftover Easiest Crab Salad (page 46), but if you can't get Dungeness crab, substitute blue crab, chopped prawns or bay shrimp, or even lobster in this recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Using either a gas stove or a broiler, toast the tortillas over or under the flame until they are partially crisp and the edges are just blackened, about 30 seconds per side. The tortillas will burn easily, so check them often while they are toasting.
- In a small bowl, combine the salsa verde and crème fraîche to make a creamy sauce. Set aside.
- Drizzle the olive oil in the bottom of an 8-inch baking dish. Trim 3 to 4 tortillas to fit the contours of the baking dish and make one complete layer of tortilla over the bottom of the dish. On top of the tortillas, layer one-third of the crab salad, one-third of the cheese, and one-third of the sauce. Top with another layer of tortillas, another third of the crab salad, another third of the cheese, and another third of the sauce. Make one final layer of the remaining tortillas and tortilla trimmings, crab salad, and cheese. (You will have formed three layers in the dish.) Pour the remaining sauce over the top, making sure to cover any exposed crab or tortilla pieces. Sprinkle the top with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are brown and bubbly and the casserole is hot throughout. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Once baked, the enchiladas can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days.
