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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple chunks will give your enchiladas the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality enchilada sauce: The enchilada sauce is a key component of this dish, so be sure to use a sauce that you like. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Don't overfill the enchiladas: Overfilled enchiladas will be difficult to roll and will likely fall apart when you bake them.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Pineapple shrimp enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these enchiladas are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give pineapple shrimp enchiladas a try!
