    Yield: 4 servings

    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 cup (1 small) chopped onion
    1 cup (1 small) chopped green bell pepper
    1 clove garlic, finely chopped
    1 1/4 cups (10 ounce can) enchilada sauce
        with green chiles and inion, divided
    1/2 pound cooked bay shrimp
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
    1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Monterey jack
        or mozzarella cheese, divided
    Sliced red bell pepper (optional)

    Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

    Add 1/4 cup enchilada sauce and shrimp. Cook for 2 minutes or until heated through.

    Pour remaining enchilada sauce into small skillet; heat until warm.

    Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in separate small skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.

    Pass tortillas, using tongs, through oil to soften. Place on paper towels to drain.

    Pass tortillas through enchilada sauce. Spoon 1/4 cup shrimp mixture down center of each tortilla; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese. Roll up. Place seam-side down on microwave-safe platter or baking dish. Top with remaining enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 5 to 8 minutes or microwave on HIGH (100%) power for 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.

    Top with bell pepper slices.
