Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce (mild, medium, or hot)
- 1 can (10 ounces) Diced tomatoes with green chiles
- 1 can (15 ounces) Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 small Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot.
Pour the enchilada sauce over the chicken.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chiles, black beans, frozen corn, diced onion, and minced garlic to the crock pot.
Sprinkle the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the mixture.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the cooked chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to combine it evenly with the sauce and other ingredients.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into each flour tortilla, roll them tightly, and place them seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
Pour any remaining sauce from the crock pot over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream, if desired. Enjoy!
