Here's one my wife did the other day. I was VERY skeptical about it, but after tasting it, it's something we're gonna do quite a bit.

Crawfish Enchiladas:

Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped oregano leaves
4 teaspoons Old Bay seafood seasoning
2 teaspoons Tony's(or your favorite seasoning)
Flour tortillas
16 oz shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese mix
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1 cup chopped onion
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 pounds LOUISIANA crawfish tails
1 tsp garlic powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a pot over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup butter. Add onion and bellpepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook and additional 5 minutes. Add cream cheese, oregano, cumin, 2 tsp Old Bay, Tony's seasoning, and parsley. Cok and stir 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of whipping cream and cook 5 minutes. Set aside.

In a large skillet over low-medium heat, combine 1/2 cup butter and crawfish. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Add 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder and green onion. Cook 2 more minutes. Drain, keeping liquid and set aside. Add to cream mixture and mix well. Spoon a portion of the mixture in the center of the tortillas and place them seam side down in a casserole dish.

Mix liquid from crawfish with 1 cup of whipping cream and cook for 3 minutes. Add remaining mixture of crawfish and stir. Dump mixture over the tortillas and top with cheese. Bake at 325 for 10 minutes. Then put under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
