Step-by-Step Instructions

Season fish fillets with salt, pepper, and preferred spices. Heat oil in a skillet and cook fish for 5-7 minutes on each side until opaque. Flake the fish into pieces.
Blend chipotle peppers and cream in a blender until smooth. Adjust heat as desired. Set aside.
Lay a tortilla flat, add flaked fish and drizzle with chipotle sauce. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour remaining chipotle sauce over enchiladas and top with cheese if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Let cool slightly, garnish with optional toppings, serve with lime wedges, and enjoy!
