Method

Preparing the Shrimp Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cilantro

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Set the filling aside to cool slightly.

Assembling the Enchiladas

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a portion of the shrimp filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

  3. 6

    Add Enchilada Sauce

    Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are well covered.

  4. 7

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the sauce.

Baking the Enchiladas

  1. 8

    Bake

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

  2. 9

    Serve

    Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream, sliced avocado, and lime wedges.
