Crab and Shrimp Enchiladas with Hatch Chili Sauce

These shrimp and crab enchialadas feaure the hatch chili, a moderately spicy delicious chili that I learned about here on this app from MMOBRIAN. Our local market just started having them available . I bought a few and roasted and stuffed them with a wild rice and cheese mix and we loved the spicy but not overpowering heat and delicious flavor. This brought me to thinking they would make a great sauce for enchalaradas. The dish turned out so good! If you can't find the hatch chili this can still be made with another chili such as a poblano or anaheim, the jlavor will be different as will the spice level but they will still be delicious.
