Instructions

Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crockpot.
Add the beans and corn: Layer the black beans and corn on top of the chicken.
Mix the sauces: In a bowl, combine the enchilada sauce, salsa, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well.
Combine in the crockpot: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the crockpot.
Cook the mixture: Cover and cook on low for 360 minutes or on high for 240 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and shreds easily.
Shred the chicken: Use two forks to shred the chicken inside the crockpot. Stir to mix everything well.
Assemble the enchiladas: Take a tortilla, add some of the chicken mixture, and sprinkle with cheese. Roll the tortilla and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Top and bake: Once all are in the dish, add any remaining chicken mixture on top and sprinkle more cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with sour cream if desired.

Notes

For best results, do not overcook and use proper tortillas.
