Preparation time: 30 minutes, Cooking time: 10 minutes, Serves: 2
Ingredients2 Tbsp oil

3 green onions, finely chopped or minced
2 Anaheim chili peppers (or similar), finely chopped

2 cups cooked shrimp
8 corn or flour tortillas
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated mild cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Preparation of the enchilada sauce
Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderate

are soft. Stir in the tomatillo or tomato puree and cook for 10 minutes over low heat, adding a little water if needed. Add salt to taste.

the sauce and mix well. Cover the bottom of a shallow 8 by 13-inch baking dish with
about 1/4 cup of the sauce.

Dip the tortilla into the simmering sauce for about 30 seconds, until it becomes soft and pliable. Place 1/4 of the shrimp sauce across the center of the tortilla, roll it up and place it on the dish. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, placing them one next to the other in the dish. Pour
the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, top each one with a spoonful of sour
cream, and sprinkle the cheese over them.
Bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese melts and turns slightly brown.
