Enchilada Filling and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent. Stir in green chiles, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Combine with Crab

    Once the onion is translucent, add the cream cheese and mix until melted and well combined. Gently fold in the blue crab meat and half of the cheddar cheese. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take a blue corn tortilla, add a generous scoop of the crab mixture, and roll it up tightly. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix the sour cream with the remaining cheddar cheese. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the rolled enchiladas.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with additional sour cream or green salsa if desired.
