Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option)
- 1 cup cream of mushroom soup (or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 tortillas (flour or corn)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Jalapeños, sliced (optional)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh, for topping)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then toss in the minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet, seasoned with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it.
- Spoon a generous amount of the creamy shrimp mixture into the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and shrimp mixture.
- Pour any remaining shrimp mixture over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. Broil for the last 2 minutes for a perfect golden finish.
Notes
Consider using Greek yogurt for a lighter dish or chicken as an alternative protein. Pair with a salad for a complete meal.
