Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp
- 1 cup Imitation crab meat
- 6 Flour tortillas
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1.5 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 4-ounce can Green chiles (diced)
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Enchilada sauce (white or green)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, imitation crab meat, cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and diced green chiles. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Lay out a flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon 1/6 of the seafood mixture down the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a microwave-safe casserole dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Step 3
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the heavy cream and enchilada sauce. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir to form a smooth sauce.
Step 4
Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the casserole dish, ensuring all tortillas are coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the tortillas.
Step 6
Cover the casserole dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Step 7
Microwave on high for 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is heated through. (Cooking times may vary depending on your microwave.)
Step 8
Carefully remove the casserole dish from the microwave. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve immediately.
