Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 pound lump crabmeat
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8-10 corn tortillas
- 1 can (19 ounces) enchilada sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Sour cream and additional cilantro for serving (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sauté the vegetables.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, green and red bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the seafood.
Add the cooked shrimp and crabmeat to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the seafood is heated through.
4. Spice it up.
Add the cilantro, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
5. Prepare the tortillas.
Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel, and microwave them for 30 seconds. This will make them soft and pliable, making them easier to roll.
6. Assemble the enchiladas.
Grease a baking dish with cooking spray. Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish. Dip each tortilla into the enchilada sauce, and fill it with the shrimp and crab mixture. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and rolled.
7. Bake the enchiladas.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, and sprinkle with both cheeses. Cover the dish with foil, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve and enjoy.
Once the enchiladas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Top with sour cream and additional cilantro, and serve hot.
