Halibut Enchiladas


One of my favorite family birthday traditions is making that special birthday person's favorite home-cooked dinner, and this recipe for Halibut Enchiladas always seemed to be the most requested birthday dinner.
 Serve with guacamole, and enjoy.

Halibut Enchiladas
Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

1-2 lbs. halibut
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chiles, drained
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 can (10 oz.) green enchilada sauce
8-10 flour tortillas

Instructions:
  1. In a large pot, cook halibut in oil.  Drain.
  2. Add onions and garlic, and cook additional minute, until softened.
  3. Stir in tomato sauce, green chiles, and cheese.  Cook until cheese is melted.
  4. Before filling tortillas, spray dish with cooking spray and spread a little enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 13" x 9" baking dish, to prevent sticking.
  5. Spoon halibut filling down center of each tortilla.  Roll up, and place seam down in baking dish.
  6. Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas to cover.
  7. Cover dish with foil.  Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Note:  My family prefers local halibut in this enchilada recipe; but the same amount of ground beef or chicken can be substituted for the halibut.  I would also use red enchilada sauce instead too.
