Crab Enchiladas (Enchiladas de Cangrejo)
This is a VERY tasty twist on your normal cheese, chicken, or beef enchilada. I used economical imitation crab in this dish and it was absolutely delicious. Give it a try. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
CRAB ENCHILADAS
(Enchiladas de Cangrejo)
2 lbs. lump or imitation crab meat
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 C. sour cream
3 CA chilies, roasted, cleaned & diced
1 med. onion, diced
Juice of 1 limón (key lime)
1½ C. (6 oz.) cheddar cheese, grated
1½ C. (6 oz.) Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
Salt & pepper
2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
24 6-inch corn tortillas
Enchilada White Sauce (Doubled Recipe)
6 Tbs. butter
6 Tbs. flour
2 C. milk
1 C. light sour cream
2 C. chicken broth
1 tsp. cumin powder
4 Tbs. finely chopped canned green chilies
1 tsp. salt + pepper
Break the crab meat into fairly large chunks, if necessary. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and sour cream. In a large bowl, mix the crab, 1/2 C. each Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, juice of 1 limón, diced CA chilies and diced onion. Add the cheese mixture to the crab mixture and mix gently to combine; set aside.
To make the Enchilada White Sauce, melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Add milk, whisking constantly, until thickened - about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add sour cream and chicken broth. Whisk and cook for 2 minutes - it should thicken slightly. Stir in the cumin, diced chilies, salt and pepper. Remove from heat, set aside and keep warm.
Warm the tortillas to soften. In two 9x13-inch rectangular baking dishes, spread 1/2 C. of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of each baking dish. Dip each tortilla in the enchilada sauce, add about 1/3 C. of the chicken mixture down the middle of each tortilla and roll up. Place rolled tortilla, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Repeat until all chicken mixture is gone.
Spread remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheeses; top with thinly sliced green onions. Cover with aluminum foil.
Place in pre-heated 350ºF. oven for 20 minutes; remove aluminum foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until sauce and cheeses are hot and bubbly and the top starts to turn a nice golden brown. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
To serve, garnish with a dollop of sour cream and some sliced black olives.
