How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 180˚C/360˚F. Heat up a frying pan with the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the butter melts add the onion, stir, and let it soften. Add the potatoes and allow them to get a bit of colour for a couple of minutes. Add the water and bring the temperature to a minimum. Place the lid on and let it simmer for 10 to 15 mins or until the potatoes are cooked through.
- When the potatoes are cooked through, add the prawns, let them cook and get slightly pink in colour. Then add the crab meat, creme fraiche, lemon zest, lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Finish with the parsley scattered on top, remove from the heat, and reserve.
- Get your Soft Taco Wraps ready and a baking dish. Add a nice amount of seafood filling into each soft taco and wrap into a taco-like shape. Place it in the baking dish and repeat the same with the remaining filling and soft tacos, until you fill up the baking dish.
- Open the Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce and pour the sauce over the top. Cover them evenly with the sauce and add the grated cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown on top. Serve this recipe for seafood enchiladas warm, and enjoy!

FAQs
Is cheese and seafood good together?
When paired correctly, cheese and seafood works beautifully together. If you think about it, combining an alfredo sauce with seafood pasta brings out incredibly balanced flavours. It's a really famous seafood cheese sauce combination.
What side dishes go well with seafood enchiladas?
We'd say go for either a salad or a rice dish. Our Lime and Coriander Rice recipe or Arroz Primavera work beautifully well, and our Mexican Salad recipe or Mexican Bean Salad.
How healthy are seafood enchiladas?
Enchiladas are not typically what one considers healthy. They're loaded with a lot of heavy, saturated fat and refined carbs that make them something you don't want to eat regularly. However, the seafood in these make them a healthier alternative to ones perhaps loaded with chorizo or beef.
