1 cup of chopped or shredded chicken
1/2 cup of chopped shrimp (I just used cocktail shrimp)

8-10oz of Greek yogurt

Juice from half of a lime

8oz red chile enchilada sauce
3/4 cup of shredded mexican cheese
8 whole wheat tortillas (I suggest the Mission "Ancient Grains" style tortillas).

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Combine the chicken, shrimp, pepper, spinach, garlic, yogurt, sriracha, lime, salt & pepper in a bowl (*feel free to add a little bit of extra shredded cheese to the mix). Spoon the contents into the tortillas, roll and put them in a glass pan (with the seam side facing down). Pour the enchilada sauce over the filled tortillas and sprinkle the mexican cheese on top. Bake 25-30 minutes until cheese is gold and bubbly.

Tips

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn or flour tortillas can be used for enchiladas. Corn tortillas have a more traditional flavor, while flour tortillas are softer and more pliable.
  • Make sure the tortillas are pliable: If the tortillas are too dry or brittle, they will crack when you roll them up. To soften the tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 10-15 seconds.
  • Use a flavorful filling: The filling is the heart of the enchilada. Choose a filling that is flavorful and has a good texture. Some popular fillings include shredded chicken, ground beef, or beans.
  • Don't overstuff the tortillas: If you overstuff the tortillas, they will be difficult to roll up and will fall apart when you bake them. Aim to fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of filling.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings the enchiladas together. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a good consistency. Some popular sauces include red enchilada sauce, green enchilada sauce, or mole sauce.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are hot and bubbly: The enchiladas should be baked until they are hot and bubbly. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Garnish the enchiladas before serving: Garnish the enchiladas with your favorite toppings before serving. Some popular toppings include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cheese.

Conclusion

Enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of fillings and sauces. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make enchiladas that are sure to impress your family and friends.
