Enchilada Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix well and let simmer for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the crab meat, shrimp, and shredded jack cheese. Mix until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take a corn tortilla, add a generous amount of the crab and shrimp filling, roll it up and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Bake

    Pour the prepared enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle any remaining jack cheese on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
