Ingredients
Scale
- 12–14 oz large shrimp
- 1–2 Tbsp vegetable oil for cooking
- 1 small yellow onion sliced thin
- 2 large jalapenos seeded or not, based on desired spice level
- 2 medium tomatoes “on a vine’ diced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- Salt
- 4 soft taco flour tortillas
- 8 oz Monterrey Jack cheese grated, divided in two
Instructions
- Step 1: Set your oven to 350°F and lightly grease your baking dish. This step is key because if you forget to grease the dish (like I have on a distracted day), you’ll end up with stuck-on tortillas that are a pain to serve.
- Step 2: Heat up your oil in a pan and toss in the onions and jalapenos. You want to cook these until they just start to soften—about 5 minutes. Then, add your diced tomatoes and garlic. The smell of the garlic hitting that hot pan? Pure bliss. Cook everything down until the veggies are nice and soft.
- Step 3: While your veggies are cooking, whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream, chipotle chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and a pinch of salt. Pour this creamy mixture right into the pan with your veggies, stirring well. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat.
- Step 4: Nestle the shrimp into the sauce in a single layer and let them cook until opaque on the bottom (about 2-3 minutes). Flip them and finish cooking until they turn pink and opaque all the way through. Don’t overcook—shrimp get rubbery fast if left too long in the heat.
- Step 5: Now comes the fun part. Spread half of your shredded cheese onto the tortillas, then add a scoop of the shrimp-veggie mixture on top. Roll them up and place them seam-side down in your greased baking dish.
- Step 6: Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, top with the remaining cheese, and bake for about 15-18 minutes. You’re just looking to melt the cheese and get everything bubbly and delicious.
