Seafood Enchiladas
An enchilada is a tortilla filled with almost anything, topped with cheese or a sauce. The most familiar enchiladas are filled with chicken, cheese, or beef. But why not do it with seafood? If we can make seafood cannelloni, seems to me that seafood enchiladas are not far behind. Feel free to add or subtract filling ingredients, both seafood and vegetables.

1. Melt the butter in a skillet. Saute the green onions, mushrooms and jalapeno until the get soft.
