SHRIMP FIESTA ENCHILADAS WITH CREAM SAUCE



Shrimp Fiesta Enchiladas With Cream Sauce image

Shrimp and vegetable medley wrapped in corn tortillias with creamy cheese sauce. I came up with this idea as I wanted to prepare an untraditional Easter dinner. It was hit with my family! It presented beautifully on the table. It was rich enough so that I really didnt need alot of extra dishes to accompany the main entree. I served them with a caesar salad, some spanish rice and black beans. This recipe makes approximately one dozen enchiladas.
