GOURMET SHRIMP ENCHILADAS
This recipe was given to me a few years ago. It is absolutely mouth watering. The fontina cheese is a must, though a little more expensive. I wouldn't recommend trying to make these without it. Light cream cheese and sour cream can be used in place of regular. Enjoy.

Steps:
- Filling:
- Combine sour cream and cream cheese. Beat by hand until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and combine well. Set aside.
- Sauce:.
- Heat half and half with cream cheese until melted and smooth (I use the microwave).
- In a separate small bowl combine tomatoes, onion, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- To assemble:.
- Lightly oil a shallow casserole large enough to hold 8 enchiladas in one layer. Pour enough of the cream cheese sauce to just lightly coat the bottom of the pan. On the center of each tortilla, place about 3 Tbls. filling mixture. Roll up and place seam-side down in casserole. Pour remaining cream cheese sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with tomato mixture and sprinkle with fontina cheese. Bake at 475 degrees for 10-12 min., until filling is hot and bubbling.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your enchiladas taste their best.
- Don't overcook the tortillas: Tortillas should be pliable but not mushy. If they're too soft, they'll break when you roll them up.
- Fill the tortillas evenly: Don't overload them, or they'll be difficult to roll up and eat.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't just stick to chicken or beef. Try using other proteins, such as pork, shrimp, or vegetables.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to enchiladas. Get creative with your fillings and sauces.
