9 X 13 Enchilada Recipe Beef and Cheese

Shrimp enchiladas horizontal

Parker Feierbach

We can't get enough of these shrimp enchiladas. Covered in a sour cream and green chili sauce and filled with flavorful shrimp, they are easy enough for a weeknight and good enough to serve to guests. Even though we think of the beef or chicken enchilada as the more classic version, the original from Mexico started as a tortilla wrapped around small fish. Now, many different fillings, meat or vegetarian can be used and enchilada sauces can vary from the classic red or green sauce to this sour cream sauce. We are using flour tortillas, but corn tortillas would be more traditional and can be used here instead as well.
