Chef Tip: Try this shrimp version with a smoky kick! Substitute 1 pound cooked shrimp (41-50 count), peeled, deveined and tails removed, for the chicken. Use 1 canned chipotle chile pepper, diced and 1 teaspoon adobo sauce instead of the chili powder. Then, substitute Mexican blend cheese for the Monterey Jack cheese. Top the baked enchiladas with 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro leaves instead of the green onion.
