Recipe



Salsa: In food processor bowl, process garlic and onion until minced. Add tomatillos, chilies, salt and sugar; puree. Add broth and mix well. Add avocado and pulse until chopped; do not puree.

Enchiladas: In a 10-inch skillet, over medium-high heat, heat half the oil until hot. Dip a tortilla into for 2 to 3 seconds or until softened. Drain tortillas on paper towels. Repeat until all are softened.

Reserve some of the largest pieces of crab meat and shrimp for garnish. Refrigerate until ready to use. Set out tortillas on work surface. Divide remaining crab meat and shrimp equally among tortillas. Arrange seafood in a line down the center of each tortilla. top each with a tablespoon of salsa and sprinkle each tortilla with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Roll up each tortilla. Place ½-inch apart in oven proof baking dish. Cover with salsa completely. Cover with foil. Bake in a 325 degree F. oven for 20 minutes or until heated through.

Sour Cream Sauce: Combine sour cream, garlic, onion, cilantro and sugar in a small bowl.

Place enchiladas onto serving plate, spoon a dollop of Sour Cream Sauce into the center. Garnish with reserved seafood and sprig of cilantro. Pass chopped jalapenos and cilantro, if desired.
