These crab and shrimp stuffed enchiladas taste like the ones served at a popular Mexican restaurant in my area. My husband just loves them. After sprinkling the cheese over the enchiladas before baking, you can also garnish with tomatoes, cilantro, olive slices, or whatever other garnish you enjoy.

VENISON ENCHILADAS

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

2 pounds cubed venison stew meat
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon ground chili powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped
1/2 cup reduced chicken stock
5 cups shredded colby-jack cheese
12 corn tortillas
4 tablespoons canola oil
Red Enchilada Sauce, recipe follows
1 red bell pepper
2 cups canola oil
1 1/2 onions, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
Ten 6-inch corn tortillas
3/4 cup chili powder
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate
5 cups chicken stock
2 cups brewed coffee
1/2 cup orange juice concentrate

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet until almost smoking. Carefully add venison meat, chopped onion and chopped garlic, season with salt and pepper and brown the meat, stirring occasionally. Add chili powder, brown sugar and cilantro. Deglaze this with the chicken stock. Removed from heat and allow to cool. Stir in 3 cups of the shredded cheese.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Soften 12 corn tortillas in a microwave oven, wrapped in a damp cloth for 10 to 20 seconds on high, until soft and pliable. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of venison mix into center of tortilla and roll. Place rolled enchiladas into a lightly oiled baking dish, seam side down. Smother with enchilada sauce and sprinkle remaining colby-jack cheese, to taste. Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Flame-roast bell pepper until skin is blistered, place in a bowl and wrap with plastic. Allow to cool, then peel, seed, and chop. In a heavy bottom skillet, heat canola oil. Saute onion, bell pepper, and garlic until onions are lightly caramelized. Add tortillas torn into pieces. Add chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder, pepper and salt to release oils in the spices, about 1 minute using care not to burn the spices.
  • Add chicken stock, coffee and orange juice concentrate. Add chocolate, chopped into pieces. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 45 minutes. Remove from heat, carefully blend smooth in a processor or blender in batches (sauce should be smooth but still thick). When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional chicken stock if necessary.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: As with any cooking project, having all your ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking will make the process much smoother. For these seafood enchiladas, this means cooking the shrimp and crab, making the sauce, and chopping the vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Shrimp and crab are both delicate proteins that can easily become tough if overcooked. Be careful not to cook them for more than a few minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is a key component of these enchiladas, so make sure it's flavorful and well-seasoned. The recipe provided in the article is a good starting point, but you can also use your favorite enchilada sauce or even a simple tomato sauce.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your enchiladas much more delicious than store-bought tortillas. If you can, try to find a local tortilleria where you can buy fresh tortillas the day you make your enchiladas.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas: When you're filling the tortillas, be careful not to overfill them. Otherwise, they will be difficult to roll up and they may fall apart when you bake them.

Conclusion:

These seafood enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their combination of shrimp, crab, and cheese, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both delicious and impressive, give these seafood enchiladas a try.
