Gourmet Shrimp Enchiladas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 soft taco-size flour tortillas
    Filling
    4 tablespoons soft cream cheese
    1/4 cup sour cream
    1/2 lb cooked baby shrimp
    1/2 cup grated Fontina cheese
    1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
    3 tablespoons finely chopped white onions
    3 tablespoons finely chopped red peppers
    fresh ground pepper, to taste
    1/4 teaspoon chili powder
    1/4 teaspoon dill weed
    1/3 lemon, juice of
    Sauce
    1/3 cup half-and-half
    3 tablespoons cream cheese
    4 medium roma tomatoes, chopped coarsley
    1/4 cup white onion, chopped coarsley
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
    1/3 cup grated Fontina cheese
Preparation
    Filling:
    Combine sour cream and cream cheese. Beat by hand until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and combine well. Set aside.
    Sauce:
    Heat half and half with cream cheese until melted and smooth (I use the microwave).
    In a separate small bowl combine tomatoes, onion, parsley, salt, and pepper.
    To assemble:
    Lightly oil a shallow casserole large enough to hold 8 enchiladas in one layer. Pour enough of the cream cheese sauce to just lightly coat the bottom of the pan. On the center of each tortilla, place about 3 Tbls. filling mixture. Roll up and place seam-side down in casserole. Pour remaining cream cheese sauce over the enchiladas. Cover with tomato mixture and sprinkle with fontina cheese. Bake at 475 degrees for 10-12 min., until filling is hot and bubbling.
