Description

A hands-off recipe for flavorful chicken enchiladas made in a slow cooker, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sour cream for serving
  • Chopped cilantro for serving


Instructions

  1. Mix the shredded chicken, black beans, corn, half a cup of enchilada sauce, cumin, chili powder, and season with salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. Spread a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of the slow cooker to prevent sticking.
  3. Lay a tortilla on a flat surface, scoop some of the chicken mixture onto it, sprinkle with cheese, and roll it up tightly.
  4. Place the rolled tortilla seam side down in the slow cooker and repeat with all tortillas.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until heated through and cheese is melted.
  7. Garnish with sour cream and chopped cilantro, and enjoy!

Notes

Consider serving with guacamole and tortilla chips or a zesty Mexican slaw.
