Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 (14 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (14 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained with juice reserved
½ (8 ounce) package fresh baby spinach, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pound uncooked shrimp - peeled, deveined, and chopped
4 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup freshly shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Heat oil over medium to medium-high heat in a large, nonstick skillet until hot. Add onion and cook until it begins to caramelize and become tender, 3 to 5 minutes; reduce the temperature if it's cooking too quickly. Add chipotle pepper in adobo, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano. Reduce heat if needed and stir for 1 more minute until seasonings are fragrant.
  • Add tomato sauce, pineapple chunks, 1 tablespoon pineapple juice, and spinach. Simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until spinach is wilted. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Adjust other seasonings to your preference.
  • Spread 1/2 to 1 cup of the sauce in a thin layer all over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Add raw shrimp to the remaining sauce. Simmer until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 3 minutes.
  • Lay a tortilla on a baking sheet and fill with the pineapple-shrimp filling. Roll up carefully and set into the baking dish, seam-side down. Finish filling remaining tortillas and arranging in the baking dish, reserving about 3/4 cup of filling. Spread the remaining filling over the enchiladas and sprinkle evenly with Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Rhubarb Bundt Cake image

A swirl of rhubarb jam graces the center of this vanilla-y Bundt cake. This is one of those cakes that keeps well for several days, and may even taste better on the 2nd or 3rd day after baking.

Categories     Rhubarb Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups finely chopped rhubarb
½ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 ¾ cups white sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ cups buttermilk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until rhubarb has broken down and mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Place mixture into a heat-safe bowl and place into the refrigerator to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt® pan.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a small bowl.
  • Cream butter, oil, and sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture for another 3 minutes on medium-high speed until batter has lightened in color. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts. Add in half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour in buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt® pan and smooth into an even layer. Remove rhubarb jam from fridge, and carefully spoon over the batter. Place dollops of remaining batter over the jam, and gently smooth into an even layer; taking care to cover the jam completely.
  • Place pan into preheated oven and bake until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan for 30 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack and cool completely.

Tips:

  • To prepare the pineapple filling, ensure the fresh pineapple is ripe and sweet. If using canned pineapple, choose tidbits or crushed pineapple packed in natural juice. Thoroughly drain the fruit to prevent excess moisture in the enchiladas.
  • When selecting tortillas, choose soft, pliable ones that won't crack or tear easily. Corn tortillas are traditional, but you can also use flour tortillas if preferred.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the enchiladas. Cook them in batches if necessary to ensure they crisp up properly and don't steam.
  • Keep an eye on the enchiladas while they're baking to prevent them from drying out. If they start to brown too quickly, cover the pan with foil.
  • Serve the pineapple enchiladas immediately, topped with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Pineapple enchiladas are a unique and flavorful twist on the classic Mexican dish. With their tangy, sweet pineapple filling and crispy tortillas, they're sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give these pineapple enchiladas a try!
