Filling and Sauces

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the lump crab meat, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and mix in chopped cilantro.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take each blue-corn tortilla and fill it with the crab and shrimp mixture. Roll them up tightly and place them seam side down in a greased baking dish.

  3. 3

    Add the Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the green chile sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Bake

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
