👨🍳 Recipe Instructions:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of chicken soup, diced onion, grated nutmeg, and black pepper. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
-
In another bowl, take half of the soup mixture and add in the crab meat along with 1 cup of grated Monterey Jack cheese. Set this aside for later use.
-
Heat the flour tortillas in the microwave. Wrap them in paper towels and microwave them on high (100 percent power) for 30 to 60 seconds until they become warm and pliable.
-
Now, take each warmed tortilla and spoon about 1/3 cup of the crab and soup mixture onto it. Roll up the tortilla tightly with the filling inside.
-
Grease a 12 X 7-1/2-inch baking dish and place the rolled enchiladas seam side down in the dish.
-
Pour the remaining soup mixture over the top of the enchiladas. Stir in the milk with the soup mixture to create a creamy sauce that will coat the enchiladas.
-
Cover the baking dish with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap. Microwave the enchiladas on high for 12 to 14 minutes, or until they are heated through and the sauce is bubbly.
-
Once cooked, carefully remove the dish from the microwave. Sprinkle the remaining grated Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
-
Allow the enchiladas to stand for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps them set and allows the flavors to meld together.
-
For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a dash of hot pepper sauce to the soup mixture before pouring it over the enchiladas.
Enjoy the tantalizing taste of these seafood enchiladas, reminiscent of the flavors found at Chi Chi’s restaurant, right in the comfort of your own home! 🌶️🍽️
