Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 8 to 10 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- Sour cream (for serving, optional)
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.
