Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 8 ounce(s) crabmeat
  • 3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
  • 1 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup(s) onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoon(s) jalapenos, chopped
  • 1/2 cup(s) tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon(s) parsley
  • 1 tablespoon(s) cilantro
  • 1 cup(s) sour cream
  • 1/2 cup(s) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground white pepper

Instructions
 

  • Pick through the crabmeat and remove any bits of shell or cartilage.
  • In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add garlic and onion, and saute until the onion is transparent.
  • Add the jalapenos, tomatoes, parsley, and cilantro and cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Add crabmeat and cook just until crabmeat is heated through.
  • Adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Whisk the sour cream, milk and white pepper together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • In a small skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but make sure the oil is hot enough, or the tortillas will absorb too much oil and be greasy.
  • Using tongs, dip each tortilla into the hot oil for about 10 to 15 seconds, or until softened.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Place 3 tbsp crabmeat filling down the center of each tortilla and roll it up and place 2 enchiladas on each serving plate.
  • Top with sour cream sauce.
