Method

For the Shrimp Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Shrimp and Seasoning

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, along with cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in chopped cilantro and remove from heat.

For the Chipotle Cream Sauce

  1. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine sour cream, chipotle in adobo sauce, and lime juice. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

For the Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). On each flour tortilla, place a portion of the shrimp filling and sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top. Roll the tortillas tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

  2. 5

    Top with Sauce

    Pour the chipotle cream sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle any remaining Monterey Jack cheese on top.

  3. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Serve the enchiladas hot, accompanied by black beans and Spanish rice on the side.
