Instructions
-
Prepare the shrimpIn a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and just cooked through. Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, then roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.
-
Make the fillingIn the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the onion and bell pepper for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic, cumin, and oregano and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant. Return chopped shrimp to the skillet, add 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce and the chopped cilantro. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
-
Prepare the tortillasPreheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable. Alternatively, dip each tortilla briefly in warm enchilada sauce to soften.
-
Assemble the enchiladasPlace about 1/4 cup of the shrimp mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with a tablespoon of shredded cheese. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
-
Add sauce and cheesePour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas, making sure to cover all the tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
-
Bake the enchiladasCover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
-
Garnish and serveLet the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, sour cream, and lime wedges. Serve hot.
