  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (like Rotel), undrained
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 810 flour tortillas (6-inch size)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink. Remove from skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook over medium heat until softened (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic; cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in diced tomatoes and green chilies; cook for a few minutes. Add condensed cream of mushroom soup and sour cream; stir well to combine. Reduce heat to low; simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Chop cooked shrimp into smaller pieces; add them to the skillet with the sauce. Stir in chopped cilantro along with 1/2 cup each of Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese until melted.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish with cooking spray. Pour milk into a shallow dish; dip each tortilla briefly on both sides. Spoon about 1/3 cup of filling onto each tortilla; roll up tightly seam-side down in the baking dish.
  7. Pour remaining sauce from skillet over enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining cheeses on top; cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes; remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
  8. Allow enchiladas to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
