Crockpot Chicken Enchiladas Mexican (Print-Friendly Version)

Chicken, beans, and cheese are slow-cooked in sauce and layered with tortillas for a hearty, flavorful dish.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Main

01 - 900 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 480 millilitres enchilada sauce (red or green, as preferred)
03 - 400 grams canned black beans, drained and rinsed
04 - 160 grams frozen or canned corn
05 - 120 grams canned diced green chillies
06 - 15 millilitres taco seasoning

→ To Assemble

07 - 200 grams shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend, or Monterey Jack)
08 - 8 medium flour or corn tortillas
09 - Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish, optional)

# How to Prepare:

01 - Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer at the base of the slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle taco seasoning over the chicken pieces to ensure thorough coverage.
02 - Pour enchilada sauce, drained black beans, corn, and diced green chillies into the slow cooker. Gently stir together just until the beans and vegetables are combined, keeping the chicken at the bottom.
03 - Secure the slow cooker lid and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and shreds easily with minimal effort.
04 - Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate. Shred thoroughly using two forks, then return to the slow cooker. Mix well so the chicken is fully distributed with the sauce and vegetables.
05 - Slice tortillas into halves or quarters. Gently stir into the chicken mixture for an even texture, or layer them throughout the mixture if preferred.
06 - Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the mixture. Cover and let the slow cooker run for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
07 - Spoon portions onto serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander as desired and serve while hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Boneless thighs may be substituted for chicken breasts for enhanced juiciness; breasts offer easier shredding.
02 - Season the chicken liberally before cooking for maximum depth of flavour; add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or chilli powder to taste.
03 - Opt for corn tortillas to achieve traditional texture, or use flour tortillas for a softer consistency.
04 - Fresh-grated cheese melts more evenly than pre-shredded varieties.
