Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup onion, diced
– 2 large garlic cloves, minced
– 1 (12 oz) package medium shrimp, uncooked, defrosted, tails removed
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus more for topping
– 1/2 cup frozen corn
– 1/2 cup black beans
– 2 cups salsa verde
– 14 corn tortillas
– 2 cups Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
1-First, prepare the shrimp by peeling and deveining them, then season lightly with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili powder to add authentic flavor.
2-Next, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while you warm the corn tortillas to make them easy to roll.
3-In the meantime, sauté onions in a skillet until they turn translucent, then add the shrimp and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they’re pink and ready.
4-Once that’s done, pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce into your baking dish to keep things from sticking.
5-Now, assemble the enchiladas by placing the shrimp mixture inside each tortilla, rolling them up tightly, and laying them seam side down in the dish.
6-Top it all with the rest of the sauce and sprinkle on the cheese for that gooey finish.
7-Bake the enchiladas uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the cheese bubbles and browns nicely.
8-For the final touch, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot, perhaps with a side like guacamole.
9-Preheat your oven to 325 degrees and heat olive oil in a skillet.
10-Cook the onion until soft, add garlic, then mix in the shrimp with spices, beans, corn, and cilantro until everything is done.
11-Roll it up in warmed tortillas, cover with salsa verde, add cheese, and bake.
Notes
🦐 Use medium or large shrimp, preferably deveined and tails removed for ease.
🌿 Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
🧀 Choose a good melting cheese blend like Monterrey Jack or Mexican blend for best topping.
