Steps:
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in the saucepan on medium heat.
- Sauté the minced onion in the butter, about 5 minutes or until the onion turns a light golden color.
- Add the cream cheese in with the onion, stirring 'til it melts.
- Then add the sour cream, heavy whipping cream, green chiles, salt, pepper, shredded cheddar, and shredded Monterey Jack to the mixture.
- Let the sauce simmer, constantly stirring, 'til it begins to thicken. It'll probably take about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Then if you want to add tomatoes to your sauce, you can stir them in. At this point, you'll want to turn the heat to low and just keep your sauce warm while you make and assemble the crab enchiladas.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F and grease a 9"x13" baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a skillet.
- Then sauté the minced garlic, onion, and red pepper in the oil, about 5 minutes, or 'til it's softened.
- Then in a large bowl, add the crab meat, the cooked veggies, lemon juice, seasoning, salt and pepper, 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese.
- Mix everything together really well.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave by placing between a couple of damp paper towels and heating 'til warmed.
- Spread about a cup of the white sauce into the bottom of your greased baking dish.
- Add a heaping tablespoon of the crab meat mixture to each corn tortilla, loosely wrapping each one.
- Place each crab enchilada, seam side down, in the baking dish on top of the sauce.
- Spread the remaining sauce over the finished crab enchiladas, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake your sour cream white sauce crab enchiladas at 350° F for about 40-45 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the enchiladas are cooked thru. Garnish with green onions, and serve with fresh tomatoes, avocado, salsa, and sour cream.

CRAB ENCHILADAS WITH TOMATILLO SAUCE & AVOCADOS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Make the tomatillo sauce: Take the paper-like coverings off the tomatillos and clean them. Heat a grill or griddle pan to medium high. Grill the tomatillos, garlic cloves and jalapeno until they have char marks and are slightly soft from being cooked. Remove them and let them cool. If you want your sauce to not be quite as spicy, remove the seeds from the jalapeno. Place the tomatillos, garlic and jalapeno into a blender with the chicken broth. Blend on high until a nice sauce. Make the crab enchilada filling: Mix all of the ingredients except the crab in a medium size bowl. Gently stir in the crab, trying not to break it up too much. Make the enchiladas: Spray a casserole dish with non-stick spray. Put about 1/4 cup of the tomatillo sauce in the bottom of the dish. Take a corn tortilla and quickly dip it into the tomatillo sauce. Then add about 4 tablespoons of filling and roll it up and place seam side down in a casserole dish. Do this with all 6 tortillas. Top with more of the tomatillo sauce and the remaining shredded Mexican-blend cheese. Bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted. Remove from oven and top with slices of avocado and chopped tomatoes. Serve with additional sour cream, if you'd like.
