Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Carefully add fish; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork; drain well. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, onions, chiles, olives, jalapenos and cumin. Fold in fish.
  2. Place generous 1/2 cup down the center of each tortilla; roll up. Place enchiladas in a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine flour and cream until smooth; pour over enchiladas.
  3. Cover and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Uncover; sprinkle with cheeses. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with salsa.
