Chicken Enchilada pie made in slow cooker image

My daughter and I love Mexican food if it isn't to spicy.We frequently go out to Authentic Mexican Restaurants. People think Mexican food is all spicy. That just isn't so. This is a great recipe I have made quite a few times. It is from a very old slow cooker cook book.

Steps:

  • Make foil handles for slow cooker. Cut 3 strips of heavy duty aluminum foil 2 inches wide and about 18-20 long each.
  • place in slow cooker in a bicycle spoke design, with foil folded over the outside. This is to make handles for gripping pie. You need this to remove from slow cooker.
  • place a tortilla on the bottom of the slow cooker on top of foil strips.Take all ingredients in small amounts and put on top ending with the cheese last.
  • keep layering in this way with the rest of the Tortillas. End with cheese on top.
  • cover the dish with foil handles hanging over the sides.
  • cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours
  • When it is done. Lift it out with the foil handles you made and place on platter. That's it. Enjoy :)
  • note: this will work with cooked ground beef too,and a bag of grated Mexican cheese.
