Seafood Enchiladas

 

1 pound lump crab meat

8 oz frozen cooked salad shrimp, thawed

3/4 cup chopped pimento-stuffed olives

8 oz shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided

2 (8 oz ) bottles of clam juice

1 ( 12 oz ) can evaporated milk

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup flour

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

3 tbsp butter

1 (4.5 oz) can chopped green chilies

16 (6 oz) corn or flour tortillas

Mix crab, shrimp, olives and 1 1/2 cup of the jack cheese in a medium bowl. Heat clam juice, milk and garlic until steamy hot. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour until blended; whisk in milk. Stir vigorously until sauce thickens. Whisk in Parmesan cheese and chilies; Continue to simmer until sauce is of cream soup thickness. Stir 3/4 cup into the seafood, and spread 1 cup in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 400 degrees.

Microwave tortillas on high power in a microwave safe plastic bag until warm, about 45 seconds. Spoon 1/2 cup of the filling into a tortilla. Roll into a cylinder and place, seam side down, in dish. Repeat. Drizzle enchiladas with 1 cup remaining sauce, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Spritz foil with cooking spray, cover the dish and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and let stand for a few minutes. Warm remaining sauce (thin with water if necessary) and serve over enchiladas.
