Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Combine shrimp, corn, chiles and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce (or salsa) in a microwave-safe medium bowl. Cover and microwave on High until heated through, 2 1/2 minutes.
  3. Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce (or salsa) in the prepared baking dish. Top with an overlapping layer of 6 tortillas. Spread refried beans evenly over the tortillas. Top the beans with the shrimp mixture, followed by the remaining 6 tortillas. Pour the remaining sauce (or salsa) over the tortillas. Cover with foil.
  4. Bake the enchiladas until they begin to bubble on the sides, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil; sprinkle cheese on top. Continue baking until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Yield: 8 servings

3. Still Hungry?

Shrimp with spicy tomatillo-and-cilantro sauce, a common combination in coastal Mexican cuisine, make bright-tasting enchiladas. Precooked shrimp help get them on your table in a hurry.

Notes:

Make Ahead Tip

Prepare through Step 3, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Allow the cold baking dish to warm slightly before placing in a hot oven.

  • Definitely a keeper!

    This recipe was delicious and easy! It was a hit with the whole family and my kids requested that it become a regular household meal. I served it with a side of homemade Mexican rice. The only thing that I would change to make it even better would be to use 18 corn tortillas instead of 12 (so that you end up with a middle layer of tortillas) and to spread the filling between the two inner layers. This would give the enchiladas a little more texture and support for the filling. A spoonful of red salsa on each serving would also add more color and additional flavor if desired.

  • EXCELLENT

    My honey and I really enjoy this recipe. I served it with Spanish Rice and Black Beans. I also top the enchiladas with sour cream and salsa. Very Good, I agree with one of the previous reviews, If you use 18 corn tortilla, rather than the 12 the recipe call for it comes out alot better!!


    ENJOY

  • Use mashed pinto beans instead of refried

    tennischica - August 15, 2007 12:07:53 PM PST
    I am going to try this recipe out tonight, but I wanted to mention that if you buy pinto beans, just mash them instead of getting refried beans.
    Less sodium and calories that way.
