minutesIngredients
1.5 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup sour cream
0.5 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cumin
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
8 pieces flour tortillas
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a baking dish with a light coating of butter or cooking spray.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until they are soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Add shrimp to the skillet, and season with salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Stir frequently until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
- Remove the shrimp and onions from the heat. In a large bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, sour cream, and chicken broth until smooth.
- Fill each tortilla with a portion of the shrimp mixture and a sprinkle of Monterey Jack cheese. Roll them up and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the tortillas, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top evenly.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Garnish the baked enchiladas with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy shrimp enchiladas.
