Halibut Enchiladas
North meets south of the border in this dish. I roll our local Alaskan halibut into tortillas. It's one of my most requested recipes and a mainstay for potlucks and wedding buffets. —Carole Derifield, Valdez, Alaska

Reviews
Great recipe - I had to cut the portion in half making it for two with leftovers to freeze. I ommitted mayo and added more sour cream and pepper jack cheese, a little lime to cooked fish, and cilantro at the end. Also did not mix the fish with the sauce, but put on the tortiillas with the sauce pured over. Loved it! Will definitely make it again - would be good with chicken too.
Have a chicken enchilada recipe that's very similar to this. Had never thought of using fish for some reason. Tried this substituting a mild white fish. Worked great. Love halibut however when when we can find it here it's pushing $20/lb. Lucky you that you have it locally! Thanks for the idea/recipe.
Great sounding recipe. Thanks!
