I do always have a problem with the tortillas turning mushy so I skipped putting the sauce on the bottom of the casserole and sprayed it with Pam instead.  During the last five minutes of cooking, I added the sauce and the cheese.  Turned out lovely with a little crisp on the bottom, saucy and cheesey and just yum.

These truly are THE BEST shrimp enchiladas! I didnt have sour cream, so I used cream cheese in lieu- I think it made the sauce consistency a little thicker, and I didnt experience the mushy tortillas that others mention.  The husband raved that the enchiladas were better than the ones we enjoy at our favorite local mexican seafood restaurant!  Wow! Absolutely delicious!
 This recipe is easy, delish AND a keeper! <3

We loved it! I do think it needed more shrimp though. Next time I will use 1 1/2 - 2 lbs.

make sure you use strong Tortillas
 they go to mush if you don't. A nd double shrimp to at least 2 lbs. I also added a lot more seasonings

Absolutely delicious!!! Saving and printing this recipe!! We added the sauce to our red sauce in our beef enchiladas as well as using this recipe for shrimp.

Thank you! This recipe was perfect. I made a few substitutions to make it keto friendly. Almond Milk (Vanilla Flavored), Almond Flour and Protein Wraps. I served it over Mexican Cauliflower Rice and viola!

I think I may try a mix of red,yellow, orange peppers. I added a little homemade taco seasoning (just a smidge)... other than that, I feel confident to serve these to friends next time... I can’t wait for them to try..

Made this for my wife’s b day and it was fantastic!! I diced up some tomatoes to add along with the fresh parsley on top of the cream sauce before adding to the oven.

This came out terrific! Not mushy at all (maybe because I cooked in my air fryer/convection oven?) and there was plenty of shrimp. But I used a one lb bag of Trader Joe’s Argentinian shrimp which are completely peeled and deveined, so there was no waste, the entire pound was shrimp.

This recipe is good....but not sure I would call it "The Best" as it's labeled for the recipe.  I agree with the reviews that say the enchiladas are a bit mushy.  I will admit that could be a taste preference.  All in all, they were good....but doubtful I will make them again.  Bechemel sauce has its place, not sure it's in enchiladas.

These were a little bland for me the night I made them, but they tasted much more flavorful the next day. I'd probably add more cumin, some chili powder, and double the shrimp next time, but I will make again. They were very quick and easy, which wins major points with me.

Cream saUce very thick too but  very good I had to thin it with some broth

Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4)

yellow onion, sliced

lime juice

chiles

kosher salt

brown sugar

chili powder

Mexican beer,

Corn tortillas

cabbage

Sliced jalapeño

avocado

Place onions at the bottom of slow cooker, then place chicken on top. In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk together lime juice, chiles, salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin. Pour lime juice mixture and beer over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.&nbsp;

When chicken is tender, remove from slow cooker and shred, then return to slow cooker with 3 tbsp. chilis in adobo sauce&nbsp;and toss with the cooking liquid. Remove chicken with slotted spoon or tongs and serve with tortillas and toppings of your choice.

So good. I used chicken broth instead of beer. I thought it was great. I also roasted the jalapeños. Try it.

I'm very confused by something in the ingredients list & I've tried Googling it but can't seem to find an answer. 

The recipe calls for "4 chiles in adobo, chopped, plus 3 tbsp. chiles in adobo sauce". I don't understand what the difference is between "chiles in adobo" and "chiles in adobo sauce". I've looked up the adobo sauce and understand what that is but the first part eludes me. Please help! Thank you in advance!

This recipe is amazing - so simple and soooo flavorful!

Came out good. Only used about a tablespoon of the adobe sauce and it had a good kick.

Best taco recipe I’ve come across!
We made it in a deep pan on the stovetop and cooked for just over an hour on low heat and it was perfect!!

This Taco Rice recipe is an easy one-pan dinner that combines all your favorite Tex-Mex ingredients, including ground beef, taco seasoning, salsa, and plenty of cheese.

Skillet Taco Rice

(1-ounce) package taco seasoning

long grain white rice, uncooked

Heat the olive oil in a skillet (*see note) over medium heat. Add in the diced onion and cook until softened.

Looks delicious. Will make this weekend! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Shelly,
I made the taco rice last night and we loved! A keeper!❤️
I was wondering if you know of any really good pan sets that will stand the test if time. Something that doesn’t have a coating that starts peeling. I thought maybe as someone that cooks all the time you might use a pan set you love.
Thank you!
Mona.

I made this today and it was excellent. The only thing I did was add A. Can? A black beans even took some over to my granddaughter she loved it.

Quick, easy and delish!  I will defintley make this again and again.

Making this right now and it smells so good , going to make with homemade tortilla chips and I added diced bell pepper and jalapeno when saute the onion. I can't wait to eat it 

I give it 4 stars for flavor. I would have given it 5 stars if my rice was not crunchy. Has anyone else made this and there rice come out crunchy after 20 minutes? I then cooked it for another 15 minutes and the rice was still crunchy.

This is amazing! I really like black beans so I added in a drained can as well as more water since it took up some. The flavors are so good. Love this recipe. I made mine in a Green Pan and covered with foil while it cooked.

This has become a favorite in my house and on regular rotation I add corn, I think this time I will try the pinto beans, that sounds good.

Yummy comforting recipe! I used rotel tomatoes w/cilantro and threw in 1/2 cup of diced red pepper. I used mango salsa and used minute brown rice. I used chicken stock instead of water. I served it with my homemade cornbread on the side.  Delicious!
