Preparation

Chef’s notes

To prevent the avocado on top of the enchiladas from browning, simply toss the diced avocado pieces in a few tablespoons of lime juice.
Feel free to also use Monterrey Jack cheese if you would prefer something milder to Pepper Jack. You may also use fresh crab meat instead of canned if that’s available to you.
