I received this recipe from an old friend for the family many years ago, and my family still loves it today. The crab makes it a wonderful change of pace from other weeknight fare.—Donna Roberts, Shumway, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend, divided
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped real or imitation crabmeat
  • 8 flour tortillas (6 inches), warmed
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped ripe olives

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, cook onion in butter over medium heat until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Combine sour cream and flour until smooth; gradually add to onion mixture. Stir in the broth, chiles, coriander and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in 1/2 cup cheese.
  2. Place crab in a small bowl; stir in 1/2 cup sauce. Spoon equal amounts on tortillas; roll up tightly. Place seam side down in an 11x7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with remaining sauce.
  3. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 5 minutes. Top with tomato, green onions and olives.
