SUPER EASY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN ENCHILADA MEAT



Super Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Meat image

This is our busy family's go-to recipe for delicious chicken meat that can be used to make enchiladas, tacos, burritos, nachos, even over rice and beans. So easy to prepare, and the enchilada sauce is to die for. I normally put this together at lunch and serve it after work. Use in your favorite Mexican recipes. Pork or beef can be substituted for the chicken.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 4h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 chicken breast halves
2 (14 ounce) cans old el paso enchilada sauce
1 1/2 cups cheese (I use mexican in the bag)
8 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • 1. Start up crock pot, put just 1/4 of a can of enchilada sauce in the pot.
  • 2. Put chicken in, and pour the rest of the first can or enchilada sauce in the pot.
  • 3. Let cook on Low for 7-8 hours or High for 3-4 hours. 1 hour before you want to assemble the enchiladas, take chicken out and shred it.
  • 4. Put chicken back in crock with enchilada sauce and let simmer for about 30-60 minutes. (You don't have to do this, but it makes the chicken more flavorful because you are getting the sauce all over the chicken).
  • 5. Pre-heat oven to 350. Pull out a 9X13 pan to put the enchildadas inches Pour enchilada sauce, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • 6. Start assembling the enchiladas by scooping up some chicken and putting in the tortillas, topped with cheese.
  • 7. Roll the filled tortillas and put in to the 9X13. Keeping doing this until the chicken is all gone or the pan is filled. ( I squish a lot of enchiladas in one pan).
  • 8. Pour remaining enchilada sauce on top and top with remaining cheese.
  • 9. Put in to preheated oven for 20 minutes. Just enough to warm all the way through.
