Delicious shrimp enchiladas topped with a creamy sauce, perfect for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup green enchilada sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream and green enchilada sauce until well combined.
- To assemble the enchiladas, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Place a few shrimp in the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with a little cheese, and roll them up tightly.
- Spread a thin layer of the sour cream and enchilada sauce mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the shrimp mixture or use a spicy enchilada sauce.
- Substitute shrimp with cooked chicken or black beans for a different protein option.
