Ingredients
- Chicken breasts (4 large ones)
- Flour tortillas
- Shredded taco cheese blend
- Chili powder
- Garlic powder
- Ground cumin
- 2 cans of enchilada sauce
- Salt
- Pepper
- Liquid smoke (optional)
Directions
Chicken filling
- Add the chicken breasts along with 1 tbsp each of chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin into the slow cooker.
- Pour 1 can of the enchilada sauce over the chicken
- Cook on low heat for 6 hours.
- After 6 hours, shred the chicken then put it back in the slow cooker along with 3 dashes of liquid smoke.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook for another two hours - by now the chicken should have absorbed most of the juice.
- Set the slow cooker to warm until you're ready to assemble.
Putting it together
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a glass baking dish with cooking spray
- Fill the tortillas with chicken filling and some of the shredded cheese, placing each one in the glass dish once you're done.
- Continue until you've filled up the dish.
- Half of the second can of enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Obviously more sauce will make them wetter so its your preference how much you want to use.
- Sprinkle more cheese over the top.
- Bake covered for 15-30 minutes until cheese is melted or desired doneness is reached.
- Serve with beans, rice, and your favorite hot sauce.
