Shrimp St Jacques Tortillas

Does anyone remember the old Magic Pan restaurant? This recipe is reminiscent of their Crepes St Jacques which I loved but with tortillas instead of crepes. Kale tortillas... did anyone even use kale in the 70's?!?
Ingredients:
1 lb cooked shrimp, cut in 1/2" pieces
1/3 cup white wine
1 tbsp chopped chives and/or garlic shoots
1 tsp minced garlic
3 tbsps butter
3 tbsps flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1  1/2 cups 10% cream
3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
paprika and parsley to garlish
12 tortillas, store bought or homemade
First off I have to tell you about these garlic shoots.  My garlic was starting to grow so I stood a few buds in a small glass and they started to grow taller. I just snipped some of the shoots off for a mild garlic flavour. But you could use all chives instead.
Ok so combine white wine, chives/garlic shoots and minced garlic and simmer 3-5 minutes. 
Remove from heat and add the shrimp.
In a large skillet melt the butter, stir in the flour, garlic powder and salt. Cook over medium heat for 1 minute then whisk in the cream and cook 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the shrimp mixture.
For the assembly, spoon about 3 tbsps of the filling into each tortilla and fold into a packet. Place on a parchment lined sheet seam side down.. I used my Fresh Homemade Kale Tortillas and have linked the recipe at the end of this post, but use any tortillas here.
Spoon any remaining sauce/shrimp on top then add the cheese...
and a sprinkle of paprika
Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until cheese melts.
Garnish the plate with parsley and more shrimp.
These packets may be frozen. Just defrost in the fridge overnight before re-heating.
