Ingredients
- 1 pound halibut fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine the halibut cubes, olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the fish evenly.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated halibut and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the fish is cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Assemble the enchiladas: Place a small handful of the cooked halibut in the center of each tortilla. Top with 1-2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll each tortilla up and place in the baking dish, seam side down.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired. Enjoy!
