Gourmet Shrimp Enchiladas image

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.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

8 soft taco-size flour tortillas
4 tablespoons soft cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 lb cooked baby shrimp
1/2 cup grated Fontina cheese
1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons finely chopped white onions
3 tablespoons finely chopped red peppers
fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/3 lemon, juice of
1/3 cup half-and-half
3 tablespoons cream cheese
4 medium roma tomatoes, chopped coarsley
1/4 cup white onion, chopped coarsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/3 cup grated Fontina cheese

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.
