Cheesy Crab Enchiladas Recipes

SUPER EASY CHEESY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• First, you want to mix the first four ingredients together until they are really well combined. Seriously, you will not see any little shreds of cheese and it will have the texture of stiff play dough (this is important).
• Preheat your oven to 350 and grab a pan. I used an 11x7 inch oval baking dish, but you can also use an 8inch square.
• Pour about 1/4 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the pan and swirl the pan until the bottom is coated.
• Reach in with your clean hands and grab about 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture in your hands and shape into a log. Roll a tortilla around this log and place in the pan. Repeat for the rest of the cheese and tortillas.
• Pour the rest of the sauce on top, spreading it to cover.
• Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of cheese on top, and place in the oven. Bake 20-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
• For OAMC: Freeze before cooking, thaw in refrigerator and bake according to directions.

SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Add some oil to a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat. Add the onions and jalapenos and cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Stir in the spices and fresh garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink.
• Fold in the corn and crab gently, add some fresh lime, and season with salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, add some butter and cook over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the flour. Whisk the butter and flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the chipotle pepper and adobo sauce and cook for 20 seconds. Stir in the lobster stock and heavy cream. Mix well and reduce the heat to medium-low. Once the sauce thickens, season it with cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Add about 1/4 cup of sauce to a 9x13 casserole dish. Fry the corn tortillas in vegetable oil for 10 seconds on each side. Add about 2-3 tbsp of the shrimp and crab mixture to each tortilla and roll them up tightly. Place them seam side-down in the casserole and repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Place any left-over seafood on top of the rolled tortillas. Spoon chipotle cream sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas and then cover with cheese. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
