Shrimp Enchiladas

These are delicious! This is not a healthy recipe at all, and although it's easy, it does take some time, so they were perfect for a weekend night. I was looking for something to do with shrimp and was searching through some of my favorite cookbooks, and then I decided to check Annie's Eats and found these! Annie adapted hers without the sauce over them though, so I looked at the blog where she got them, My Kitchen Cafe and Mel added the sauce over hers-score! I love my enchiladas saucey and cheesy and these were right on the mark.

1/2 c. red bell pepper

1/2 c. green bell pepper (I used 1 whole green bell since that's what I had)

1/2 c. onion

1/4 c. butter (I know! I used 2 tbsp. + 1 tbsp. olive oil instead and it was fine)

1/2 tsp. oregano

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. cayenne

1/4 tsp. black pepper

3/4 c. whipping cream

1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour

3 c. Monterey Jack cheese, divided (I used 2% milk Mexican blend)

1/2 c. sour cream

2 Tbsp. butter (I know! More butter! I used 1 Tbsp. butter w/1 Tbsp. olive oil)

1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled, deveined

2 c. tomatoes, chopped (I used about 1/2 cup of grape tomatoes chopped small)

8 (9 inch) flour tortillas

1. Preheat oven to 350. Saute peppers and onion in butter (or butter/oil blend) until crisp-tender. Add spices, cream and flour, blend well. Continue cooking for 3 minutes or until slightly thickend. Add 1 1/2 c. cheese, stir until melted. Add sour cream, stir to blend. Set aside.

2. In another skillet, melt 2 tbsp. butter (or butter/oil) and add 1/2 c. onion and shrimp until shrimp are pink. Remove shrimp and chop, return to butter and onion. Add tomatoes and 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce. Spray baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon shrimp mixture into each tortilla. Sprinkle cheese mixture on top of shrimp mixture. Roll and place seam side down into the baking dish. Spoon cheese sauce over tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 5 more minutes or put under the broiler for a few minutes to brown.
