Cooking Tips:
- While this recipe uses flour tortillas, you can substitute them with corn tortillas for a gluten-free option or to switch up the texture.
- When assembling your enchiladas, ensure an even distribution of cheese, crab, and shrimp for consistent flavors in every bite.
- Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling to prevent them from unraveling during baking.
- Make sure the green enchilada sauce covers the enchiladas entirely. This will keep them moist and flavorful.
