Ingredients

• 6 Large flour tortillas
• 400 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 200 grams Lump crab meat
• 200 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia), chopped
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 Red bell pepper, diced
• 400 grams Canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 250 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 300 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 200 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and red bell pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the shrimp, chopped white fish, and crab meat to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and the fish is cooked through. Remove the seafood from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the canned diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and chopped cilantro, then return the seafood mixture to the skillet. Mix well and remove from heat.

Step 6

To assemble the lasagna, place a layer of tortillas at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, tearing them as needed to cover the surface.

Step 7

Spread a third of the seafood mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top.

Step 8

Repeat the layers of tortillas, seafood mixture, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Let the tortilla lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with lime wedges and extra chopped cilantro, if desired.
