Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 400º. For filling, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and poblano. Sauté until tender and golden, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add shrimp and salt. Cook, stirring often, until shrimp are just barely cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp mixture to a large plate. Cool completely in the refrigerator. Once cooled, stir in 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheese.

  3. Wrap 4 tortillas in plastic wrap. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining 4 tortillas.

  4. Working quickly so the tortillas stay hot and pliable, unwrap one stack of tortillas and roll a 1/8th portion of filling into each tortilla. Place seam-side down in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Repeat to use all tortillas and filling. Open sauce pouches at one corner and pour over tortillas so they are completely covered with sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese.

  5. Bake until the enchiladas are hot through and the cheese is golden, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
