How to Make Shrimp And Green Chile Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly oil a medium-sized casserole dish.
  2. In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer.
  3. Add the shrimp to the simmering broth. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until pink. Remove shrimp and set aside; reserve the broth.
  4. In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of the reserved chicken broth. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in the cooked shrimp, salt, and pepper.
  8. In a blender or food processor, combine the canned diced green chiles (undrained), chopped Hatch chiles, and the remaining 1 cup of reserved chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
  9. Heat the green chile sauce in a small skillet over low heat. Keep warm.
  10. Steam the corn tortillas: Microwave a few at a time, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for 15-20 seconds, or until pliable. Alternatively, you can warm them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side.
  11. Dip each tortilla into the warm green chile sauce.
  12. Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the shrimp and mushroom mixture.
  13. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in the prepared casserole dish.
  14. Pour the remaining green chile sauce over the enchiladas.
  15. Sprinkle with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  16. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  17. Garnish with chopped tomatoes and serve immediately with your favorite Mexican sides like refried beans, coleslaw, or guacamole.
