Ingredients

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 small yellow, sweet onion, diced
2 cups shredded coleslaw mix with carrots
3 cups baby spinach
2 tablespoons chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce
1 tsp. fresh spicy oregano
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 (6-inch) whole wheat tortillas, warmed
1 cup Swiss cheese
FOR THE JALAPEÑO CREAM SAUCE
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1½ cups chicken broth
¾ cup greek yogurt
2 jalapeños, seeded and minced
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

1.Pre-heat oven to 400 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. 2.Chop shrimp into bite size pieces. Place shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and gently toss to combine. Place into oven and roast just until pink, firm and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. 3.Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9x13" baking dish or coat with nonstick spray. 4.Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage mixture, spinach, chipotle pepper, oregano and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach just begins to wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Add shrimp and gently toss to combine. 5.To make the sauce, melt butter in a large saucepan. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken stock and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in greek yogurt. Add jalapeños and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. 6.To assemble the enchiladas, lay tortilla on a flat surface and spoon ⅓ cup of the shrimp mixture in the center; sprinkle with cheese. Roll the tortilla and place seam side down onto prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and shrimp mixture. 7.Pour half of the jalapeño cream sauce evenly over the top. Place into oven and bake, covered, until lightly golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes. 8.Serve immediately with remaining jalapeño cream sauce, garnished with cilantro.
