Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (19 oz) can mild red enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (I used rotisserie chicken and shredded it, but you can also use this Crock Pot Shredded Chicken recipe.)
  • 1½ cups Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 (10 oz) cans Rotel tomatoes with diced green chilies (drained)
  • 12 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instructions
 

  • Spray the bottom of a 6-quart crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Then, pour just enough enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Add chicken, Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and Rotel in a medium bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Spoon about a ¼ cup of the chicken mixture into the center of each flour tortilla and roll them up. Then place them in the crock pot.
  • Pour enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and top with cheddar cheese.
  • Cover and cook on low for 2½-3½ hours.
  • Top with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

  • My family has a preference for flour tortillas as we find them easier to roll. However, corn tortillas would be the way to go if you're aiming for a truly authentic chicken enchilada recipe.
  • If you don't like spice, swap out the Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies for just regular diced tomatoes.
