Servings: 4

Ingredients

Salt: to taste
Pepper: to taste
Fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
Monterey Jack cheese: 2 cups, shredded
Flour tortillas: 8 large
Sour cream: 1 cup
Tomato sauce: 1 cup
Red bell pepper: 1, diced
Green bell pepper: 1, diced
Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
Onion: 1 medium, chopped
Scallops: 1 cup, chopped
Crab meat: 1 cup, picked over
Shrimp: 1 cup, peeled and deveined
Creamy White Sauce: 1 cup

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add in the shrimp, crab, scallops, and tomato sauce. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the seafood is fully cooked and the shrimp turns pink.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream and chopped cilantro. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon about 1/3 cup of the seafood mixture onto each flour tortilla, rolling them up tightly. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Top the enchiladas with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese and pour the creamy white sauce evenly over them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
