Instead of rolling up enchiladas, I prefer to stack them. Dinner can be on the table in under an hour if you use a rotisserie chicken.

CHICKEN ENCHILADA STACK

Think outside the "dish." You can enjoy the flavor and texture of enchiladas in a slow cooker; just stack the tortillas instead of rolling them. We suggest lining your slow cooker with a slow-cooker bag so you can easily remove the stack from the cooker.
