These crab and shrimp stuffed enchiladas taste like the ones served at a popular Mexican restaurant in my area. My husband just loves them.

1/2 c minced onion
1 anaheim pepper, seeded and diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
1/4 c butter, melted

1/2 c sour cream
1 c green onions, chopped, divided

2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped, divided
12 flour tortillas (8 inch)

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and devein the shrimp. Set aside and keep cold.
  • 2. Saute the sweet red pepper and the next 8 ingredients in 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until tender. Add the half and half; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the cheese, stirring until the cheese melts. Remove from the heat, stir in the sour cream. Set aside.
  • 3. Saute the reserved shrimp and 1/2 cup green onions in 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the shrimp turn pink and the green onions are tender. Stir in half of the chopped tomato and half of the reserved cheese sauce. Remove from heat.
  • 4. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the shrimp mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly, and place, seam side down, in a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.
  • 5. Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the tortillas. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups of cheese, 1/2 cup green onions, and remaining chopped tomatoes. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right seafood. For this recipe, any type of cooked seafood can be used, such as shrimp, crab, lobster, or fish. Just be sure to remove any bones or shells before adding it to the enchiladas.
  • Make sure the tortillas are warm. This will help them to be more pliable and less likely to tear when you roll them up.
  • Don't overfill the enchiladas. If you put too much filling in each enchilada, they will be difficult to roll up and may fall apart.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what will really make your enchiladas sing. Be sure to use a sauce that you love, and that complements the seafood you are using.
  • Top the enchiladas with cheese. This will help to hold them together and give them a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the enchiladas immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Seafood enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
