Tips

• Rotisserie chicken makes this recipe quick and convenient.

• Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded cheese.
• Allow the enchiladas to rest before serving so they stay together.

Variations

• Use green enchilada sauce instead of red.
• Add black beans or corn to the filling.
• Substitute Pepper Jack cheese for extra spice.
• Stir in cream cheese for a creamier texture.
• Top with crushed tortilla chips before serving for added crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use freshly cooked chicken?

Absolutely. Any cooked, shredded chicken works well in this recipe.

Can I assemble these ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the enchiladas in the slow cooker insert, cover, refrigerate overnight, and cook the next day.

Can I use corn tortillas?

Yes, although flour tortillas hold up especially well in the slow cooker. If using corn tortillas, warm them first to help prevent cracking.
