Preparation

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 400°F. Coat a large, shallow baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

To make the salsa, chop the tomatillos coarsely. In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatillos, onions, garlic, chilies and cilantro. Process just until coarsely chopped. Stir in the beans and corn.

In a large bowl, combine 2/3 cup of the salsa, the shrimp, lemon zest and pepper.

Heat a dry large fry pan (not one with a nonstick surface) over medium heat. One at a time, heat the tortillas in the hot pan until softened, about 20 seconds per side. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Spread an equal amount of the filling in the center of each tortilla, roll the tortilla around the filling and place, seam side down, in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the cheese. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil.

Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake until the cheese is melted, 7 to 10 minutes.

To serve, place 2 enchiladas on each individual plate. Top each pair with an equal amount of the remaining salsa, 1 Tbs. of the yogurt and a cilantro sprig.
