Shrimp Enchiladas

I have never tried such wonderful shrimp enchiladas like this one before. The sauce wasn't red, it was white, that was a first for me. And it was so creamy and rich. Every bite was heavenly, seriously! We used whole wheat tortillas instead of white and the result was still fabulous.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sweet red pepper, chopped
1/3 cup yellow pepper, chopped (I added the yellow pepper and it was so good!)
1/2 cup onion, minced (I didn't add any onions)
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves garlic, minced - I like real garlic in my cooking)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 cups Monterey Jack cheese, divided (you can use half pepper-jack cheese for great results)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup onion, chopped (I didn't add any)
2 cups ripe tomatoes, chopped
8 (9-inch) flour tortillas (I used wheat tortillas instead)

Direction:

Saute red pepper, yellow pepper, onion and green pepper in 1/4 cup butter until crisp-tender. Add oregano, salt, garlic powder (or garlic), pepper, cayenne pepper, cream and flour; blend well. Continue cooking for 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add 1 1/2 cups cheese; stir until melted. Add sour cream, stir to blend. Set aside.

In another skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Saute shrimp and 1/2 cup onion until shrimp are pink. Remove shrimp and chop; return to butter and onion. Add chopped tomatoes and 1/2 of the cheese sauce. Spoon 1/3 cup shrimp mixture into each tortilla. Sprinkle cheese on top of shrimp mixture. Roll up tightly. Arrange seam side down in a 9X13-inch glass baking dish. Spoon remaining cheese sauce over tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes.
