Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 cup cooked crab meat

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

1 tbsp lime juice

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

8 large corn tortillas

1 cup green enchilada sauce

1 cup diced tomatoes with green chilies (canned)

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.

      Warm the Tortillas: To make rolling easier, lightly warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

        Assemble the Enchiladas: Spoon about ¼ cup of the seafood filling into the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

          Add Sauce: Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies over the top.

            Add Cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over everything.

              Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy warm!
