Description

I don’t know where to begin to describe the deliciousness inside these enchiladas. Suffice it to say, they are cheesy and creamy with a subtle kick and you will not be disappointed with the results.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Chopped Red Pepper
  • ½ cups Chopped Green Pepper
  • 1 cup Onion, Divided (1/2 Cup Minced And 1/2 Cup Chopped)
  • ¼ cups Butter, Plus 2 Tablespoons
  • ½ teaspoons Oregano
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • ¾ cups Whipping Cream
  • 1 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour
  • 3 cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese, Divided (Or Pepper Jack Cheese)
  • ½ cups Sour Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1-½ pound Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
  • ½ cups Chopped Onion
  • 2 cups Chopped, Ripe Tomatoes
  • 8 whole 9-inch Flour Tortillas

Preparation

Saute red pepper, 1/2 cup minced onion and green pepper in 1/4 cup butter until crisp-tender. Add oregano, salt, garlic powder, pepper, cayenne pepper, cream and flour; blend well. Continue cooking for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Add 1 1/2 cups cheese; stir until melted. Add sour cream, stir to blend. Set aside.

In another skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Saute shrimp and 1/2 cup chopped onion until shrimp are pink. Remove shrimp and chop; return to butter and onion. Add chopped tomatoes and 1/2 of the cheese sauce.

Spoon 1/3 cup shrimp mixture into each tortilla. Sprinkle cheese on top of shrimp mixture. Roll up tightly. Arrange seam side down in a 9×13-inch glass baking dish. Spoon remaining cheese sauce over tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.

The sauce and everything about this was delicious. Worth making again.

I’ve been following your blog for about 2 years now and make at least one recipe a week from it but THIS one, THIS one is probably my favorite. I crave these enchiladas and now I turn up my nose at shrimp enchiladas at Mexican restaurants because I know the ones I can make at home are better. Oh man, and now my mouth is watering.
These are the best.

This is incredible!! This may be ridiculous, but I don’t care-I was dipping chips in the extra enchilada sauce.

Thanks Melanie! I substituted fat-free half-and-half and fat-free greek yogurt for the heavy cream and sour cream. Also decreased the amount of butter. They were still awesome! My prep time was over 1 hour.

This recipe is so good. I was trying to not eat the sauce before I could put them in tortilla, but it was hard. I love your blog!
