- Season shrimp with 1 teaspoon Tony’s Original Creole Seasoning and add to onion mixture. Add chili powder and cumin, stir and cook for 3-4 more minutes.
- Add flour and stir and cook for about 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to medium and add half-and-half. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add cheeses, stirring to melt. Remove from heat once melted.
- Lay a tortilla in a large casserole dish. Place cheesy shrimp filling onto the tortilla and roll up while in the dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas pressing them together to fit at least 7 to 8 tortillas. Top with about 1 cup of extra sauce and 1 cup shredded cheese. Bake at 400°F for 8 minutes.
- Top with cilantro then serve with leftover sauce. Enjoy!

Leftover sauce is also great over pasta!
