Description
Our crockpot chicken enchiladas are a crockpot meal packed with chicken, beans, corn, and lots of cheese! This gluten-free dinner is easy to assemble in the morning and can cook all day. Before serving, shred the chicken, add the beans, corn, cheese, and tortillas, and dinner is ready!
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 15 ounce red enchilada sauce
- 14.5 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
- 4.5 ounce green chiles
- 1.25 ounce gluten-free taco seasoning packet
- 15 ounce can black beans, drained
- 1 cup frozen corn or canned
- 1 cup shredded Mexican or cheddar cheese
- 6 small corn tortillas, cut into wedges
Instructions
1. Add chicken and seasonings to the crockpot. Add the chicken breasts, enchilada sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chiles, and taco seasoning to the slow cooker. Cook for 4-6 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.
2. Shred the chicken and add the rest of the ingredients. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken. Add 1/2 of the shredded cheese, black beans, corn, and tortillas. Top with the rest of the cheese and recover. Cook for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Notes
The chicken breasts can be swapped with chicken thighs, ground beef, ground chicken or ground turkey. If using ground meat, brown in a separate skillet before adding to the crockpot to prevent a mushy texture.
To freeze, let the casserole completely cool then pack in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
For food safety concerns, it is not recommended to cook frozen chicken in a crockpot. Thaw chicken overnight in the fridge to add to the slow cooker the next day.
Serve with any desired side dish or topped with salsa, sour cream, hot sauce, black olives, sliced jalapenos, diced tomatoes or shredded lettuce.
