Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with CRISCO® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray.
  • 2 In 2-quart saucepan, heat enchilada sauce and whipping cream to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 7 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
  • 3 Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent (do not brown). Stir in corn, chiles, 1/4 cup of the cilantro, the sherry and crabmeat until well mixed. Remove from heat.
  • 4 Spoon slightly less than 1/2 cup crabmeat mixture down center of each tortilla; top each with 1/4 cup of the cheese. Roll up tortillas; place seam sides down in baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese over enchiladas. Pour sauce mixture over enchiladas.
  • 5 Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly around edges. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, the green onions and almonds. Serve with sour cream and lime wedges.

This was a rich and filling meal. By itself, it was okay, but with garnishes (sour cream, lime, cilantro, and green onions) it was really good. I felt that the creamy canned enchilada sauce made the meal taste a little off. I think I might try it with another sauce. Also, it needs some salt. Overall, it was good. My husband loved it, I thought it was good, but not fantastic.

This Recipe is amazing! It sounded a bit difficult at first, but it really was simple and easy to make. I made a few changes just because I didn't have all the exact ingredients, like I used a can of corn and a little butter instead of the frozen butter corn and it still turned out delicious. I would not skip out on the fresh Cilantro!! A+ Pillsbury...I will be sharing this will all my friends and family

This is a GREAT dish that goes together fast enough for a weeknight, but is definately "Company Quality"! You will be asked for the recipe every time you serve it.
