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.
