Ingredients

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Мethod of preparation

Begin by preparing the shrimp: rinse under cold water and dry thoroughly. In a large bowl, coat the shrimp with chipotle in adobo sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly covered. Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats, warm the corn tortillas gently to make them pliable, either in a microwave or on a stovetop skillet. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the marinated shrimp until they are pink and cooked through, around 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the heat and set aside. To assemble the enchiladas, fill each tortilla with a portion of cooked shrimp, roll them up, and place them seam side down in a baking dish. Spread the shredded cheese over the enchiladas. Whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to form a smooth sauce. Pour this mixture over the enchiladas. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling, approximately 20 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges. Revel in the rich flavors of the smoky, spicy, and creamy delight.
