Olive oil cooking spray
Seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay, for sprinkling
1 lime
One 8-ounce brick cream cheese or Neufchatel, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/3 palmful
1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palmful
2 small cans diced green chiles, drained
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried dill
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas, warmed or lightly charred over a flame on the stovetop

SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS



Seafood Enchiladas image

These crab and shrimp stuffed enchiladas taste like the ones served at a popular Mexican restaurant in my area. My husband just loves them. After sprinkling the cheese over the enchiladas before baking, you can also garnish with tomatoes, cilantro, olive slices, or whatever other garnish you enjoy.
