What ingredients do I need to make these Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas?

  • Taco seasoning
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper-to taste 
  • White or yellow corn tortillas or low carb flour street tortillas – I like to use Mission 25 Calorie Yellow Corn Tortillas 
  • Black beans- canned. Rinsed and drained. 
  • Reduced fat Mexican cheese-shredded. 

What toppings could I add to these Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas?

  • Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

  • Diced avocado
  • Salsa
  • Fresh cilantro

How do I make these Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas?

Spray a slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

Pour in enchilada sauce, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker and stir until well combined.

Place the chicken in slow cooker and cover with sauce. 

Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 hours.

Once the chicken is cooked through remove the chicken place it on a plate or cutting board.

Use two forks to shred the meat.

Return chicken to the slow cooker. Stir it all together with the sauce.

Cut tortillas in half and then cut them in half again-making 4 triangles.

Add the tortillas pieces and the rinsed black beans to the slow cooker and stir all of the ingredients together.

Press it all down lightly to create a flat surface and top with cheese.
