Ingredients
  • 2  tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2  medium-size red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/2  medium-size green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1-1/4  pounds medium shrimp, shelled, deveined and cut in half crossways
  • 1  cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1  teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon ground cumin
  • 8  corn tortillas
  • 1  bottle (16 ounces) tomatillo salsa (such as La Victoria)
  • 3  tablespoons half-and-half
  • 1  cup shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp; cook an additional 3 minutes, until shrimp is opaque. Stir in corn, 1/4 cup water, chili powder and cumin. Heat through.

2. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Wrap four tortillas in damp paper towels. Microwave 30 seconds. Brush one side of each tortilla with salsa. Spoon 1/2 cup shrimp mixture on each. Roll up and place seam-side down in prepared dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Top with any extra filling.

4. Mix remaining salsa with half-and-half. Spoon over enchiladas. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375 degrees F, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until bubbly.

Actually, it says "four" not "flour".

Excellent and very easy! My family loved it. Tomatillo salsa is a little spicy but not really hot. I also used regular onions and everything tasted fine. I used 8" corn tortillas.

You need to check your instructions for preparation. It indicates you use flour tortillas in the instructions and you have corn tortillas in the ingredients
