Our version of seafood enchiladas. The seafood is the star in these, not the cheese! Ingredients:
1 small onion,chopped |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1 small red bell pepper, chopped |
1/2 cup butter, divided |
1lb total of your choice of seafood(ie shrimp or scallops chopped coarsely(raw, if possible), crab meat(not imitation), crawfish, lobster meat, clams, etc) |
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped fine |
1 cup mexican blend cheese, shredded |
6 large flour tortillas |
1 cup half and half or milk |
2t cornstarch |
about 4oz queso blanco (white mexican melting cheese) |
about 6 oz sour cream |
1 can rotel tomatoes, mostly drained |
dash of lemon juice |
salt and pepper |
1/2t hot sauce or cayenne(if desired) |
1/2 cup cotija, shredded |
sliced black olives, green onions, fresh cilantro, additional sour cream, sliced jalapenos, etc, for garnish, if desired |
Directions:
1. In large skillet or pan, melt 1/2 of butter and add garlic, onion and bell pepper.
2. Cook about 5-7 minutes until onion is transparent.
3. Remove from heat and add in all seafood and about 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese, stir to combine.
4. Divide filling between 6 tortillas wrapping in simple enchilada fashion and placing, seam down, in sprayed 9X13 dish

6. Add remaining butter to melt, then add cornstarch and mix until no lumps remain.
7. Add milk, sour cream, remaining cheese, and tomatoes and heat on medium-low heat, stirring often, until cheese are melted. Add hot sauce and salt and pepper and lemon juice.

12. This is quite a rich, heavy dish...I suggest serving it with a simple guacamole salad, or chips and guacamole...not much else is needed :)
