Crabmeat Enchiladas
The flavorful crabmeat mixture used as a filling for these enchiladas is typical of the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Because of the crabmeat, this recipe has a higher than usual sodium content, so make sure it fits within your diet. You could cut down by limiting yourself to a single enchillada.
3 T vegetable oil
6 corn tortillas
8 oz Crabmeat
3 T olive oil
1 garlic cloves,chopped
1/2 c Onion,chopped
3 T jalapenos,chopped
1/2 c Tomatoes,chopped
1 T parsley
1 T cilantro
1 c sour cream
1/2 c milk
1/2 t ground white pepper
Pick through the crabmeat and remove any bits of shell or cartilage. In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add garlic and onion, and sauté until the onion is transparent. Add the jalapenos, tomatoes, parsley, and cilantro and cook for about 3 minutes. Add crabmeat and cook just until crabmeat is heated through. Adjust seasonings as needed. Whisk the sour cream, milk and white pepper together in a small bowl and set aside. In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers (Make sure the oil is hot enough, or the tortillas will absorb too much oil and be greasy.) Using tongs, dip each tortilla into the hot oil for about 10 to 15 seconds, or until softened. Drain on paper towels. Place 3 tablespoons Crabmeat Filling down the center of each tortilla and roll it up. Place 2 enchiladas on each serving plate. Top with sour cream sauce.
