Acapulcos Crab Avocado Enchiladas With Cilantro Cream Recipes

CRAB ENCHILADAS WITH TOMATILLO SAUCE & AVOCADOS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Make the tomatillo sauce: Take the paper-like coverings off the tomatillos and clean them. Heat a grill or griddle pan to medium high. Grill the tomatillos, garlic cloves and jalapeno until they have char marks and are slightly soft from being cooked. Remove them and let them cool. If you want your sauce to not be quite as spicy, remove the seeds from the jalapeno. Place the tomatillos, garlic and jalapeno into a blender with the chicken broth. Blend on high until a nice sauce. Make the crab enchilada filling: Mix all of the ingredients except the crab in a medium size bowl. Gently stir in the crab, trying not to break it up too much. Make the enchiladas: Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray. Put about 1/4 cup of the tomatillo sauce in the bottom of the dish. Take a corn tortilla and quickly dip it into the tomatillo sauce. Then add about 4 tablespoons of filling and roll it up and place seam side down in a casserole dish. Do this with all 6 tortillas. Top with more of the tomatillo sauce and the remaining shredded Mexican-blend cheese. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with slices of avocado and chopped tomatoes. Serve with additional sour cream, if you'd like.

AVOCADO ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine black beans, 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, avocados, bell pepper, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl; gently toss everything together.
• Pour half of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Divide avocado mixture between corn tortillas evenly. Roll up and place seam side-down into the baking dish. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until cheese is melted and filling is heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with sour cream, pico de gallo, and fresh cilantro.

ENCHILADAS WITH AVOCADO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• First make the avocado cream sauce: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the flour, whisking until golden and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Slowly whisk the broth into the flour mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream, cumin, salt, garlic powder and pepper, whisking if necessary to remove any lumps. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a blender or food processor. Add avocados, cilantro and lime juice, and pulse until smooth and well-blended. (Be very careful blending hot liquids - the heat will expand! So be sure to remove the lid occasionally so that the heat can escape.) Season with additional salt or pepper if needed.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, poblano and jalapeno, and saute for 5-6 minutes until the onions are cooked and translucent. Remove from heat.
• To assemble the enchiladas, place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a tablespoon or two of the avocado sauce down the middle of the tortilla. Then layer on some of the vegetable mixture, shredded chicken (or black beans if making vegetarian) and cheese. Carefully roll the tortilla and place it seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Drizzle the top with about half of the remaining avocado cream sauce. Add a sprinkling of extra cheese. Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 20 minutes, or until tortillas are heated through and begin to harden. Remove the foil and broil for a few minutes until cheese is browned and bubbly.
• Remove from the oven, then serve individual enchiladas drizzled with the remainder of the avocado cream sauce. You can also garnish with additional cilantro, cheese, and/or sour cream.
