Ingredients for Salsa

2 guajillo peppers

1 ancho pepper

2 tomatoes

3 large garlic cloves

¼ medium size white onion

1/3 cup tomato puré

1 tsp dried oregano

10 oz crab meat

½ white onion (thinly sliced)

1 garlic clove (finely chopped9

1 Poblano pepper (thinly sliced)

1 tomato (chopped)

Small bunch of cilantro (finely chopped)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp E.V.O.O.

Ingredients for Enchilada filling

12 corn tortillas

Crema fresca

Queso Cotija (crumbled)

½ white onion

Cooking oil (necessary amount)

Procedure

Put first 7 ingredients in a sauce pot, cover them with water, bring them to a boil & let cook for 10 minutes.  Cool off, blend & strain.  Season with salt & pepper.

To make the filling: Heat the oil in a frying pan at medium heat, add onion & Poblano pepper, cook for 3 minutes. Add tomato & garlic, cook 3 minutes, add the crab meat, season with salt & pepper & cook for 5 more minutes, add cilantro mixing well and turn off.  Set aside.

Put some of the Salsa on a large plate and place a tortilla in it, covering both sides with salsa.  Add 1 tbsp of cooking oil to a large frying pan & heat over medium heat.  Add tortilla and cook each side for 1-2 minutes. Place them on another plate and continue until you get all your tortillas cooked in the salsa.

Put  2 tbsp of crab filling in each tortilla, roll and put three in each plate, thin out the rest of Salsa roja with a little bit of chicken , beef or veggie broth and pour some over the enchilada plate, garnish with the chopped onion, a tsp of cremafresca and the crumbled Cotija cheese.  Serve them with shredded lettuce and sliced radish.

Notes from Chef:

You can use sour cream instead of crema fresca & feta cheese instead of Cotija.

Naturally, the filling can be substituted for shredded beef or chicken.

You can use Monterey Jack or Manchego cheese for a more "tex-mex" version, then bake in the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melts.
