Deliciously creamy crab and avocado enchiladas with a savory sauce.
Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 0.45 pound crab meat fresh or canned, drained
  • 2 avocado ripe, diced
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce red or green
  • 1.5 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
  • 0.5 cup cilantro chopped
  • 0.25 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, red onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently mix to combine.
  • Lightly warm the corn tortillas (this makes them pliable and less likely to break). You can do this in a dry skillet, microwave, or briefly in hot oil.
  • Dip each tortilla briefly into the enchilada sauce, then place about 2-3 tablespoons of the crab and avocado mixture down the center of the tortilla. Roll up and place seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle evenly with shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  • Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Notes

These enchiladas are best served immediately. For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeño to the filling.
