Description

Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas are an easy, 7 ingredient dinner that takes only 20 minutes to prep. Skip the takeout and make this crock pot Mexican dish at home, even on busy weeknights!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound cooked chicken or 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 15 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 4 ounce can diced green chiles
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 28 ounce can enchilada sauce
  • (12) 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 8 ounce shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

Instructions

  1. Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray or use a crock pot liner.
  2. Mix together shredded chicken, tomatoes, chiles, taco seasoning, and 3/4 cup of cheese in a medium bowl.
  3. Pour enchilada sauce in the bottom of the slow cooker, just enough to coat the bottom.
  4. Microwave the corn tortillas 30 seconds to help them roll better. Add 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture to each tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam side down in the slow cooker.
  5. Once you have lined the slow cooker with the rolled tortillas, top with half of the remaining enchilada sauce and half of the remaining cheese. Repeat to make a second layer of enchiladas.
  6. Top the second layer with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese. Cook on low for 3 hours.
  7. Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
