Description

An easy delicious dinner that has all the good taste of chicken enchiladas with hardly any prep time at all! I guess you could also call these “enchilada tacos.” I make them whenever I know I’m going to be too busy during the day to cook!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ pound Boneless Skinless Chicken (about 3 Large Breasts)
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 whole Onion, Diced
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
  • 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 1 can (28 Oz. Size) Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 package Grated Cheese (however Much Or Little You Like!)
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
  • 1 can (15 Oz. Size) Corn, Drained And Rinsed
  • 1 package Tortillas (10-12 Count)

Preparation

Put the garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, and chicken breasts into a 3-quart crockpot. The order doesn’t matter. Pour the enchilada sauce over it all so that the chicken is covered. Turn the crockpot on to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

When you’re ready to eat, shred the chicken. I do this by holding the breasts with tongs and using a fork to break them up.

Serve the chicken on tortillas with a scoop of black beans, a scoop of corn, and cheese.

This was delicious!! I used 10 oz of red enchilada sauce, and 15 oz of green chile enchilada sauce, since that’s what I had. I did it on high for 4 hours, and my chicken was juicy and delicious. My husband and daughters (ages 6 & 3) also loved it. SO EASY & SO GOOD! I will be making this again!

nice concept. my boyfriend said he loved it, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. i’m not sure why, since the above member had such success. for one though, the chili powder-i knew 1 tbls. was plenty & after cooking it, it was still too much (especially since i have a four yr. old) i felt that all i really tasted was the spice. i felt the chicken was a little on the dry side ( i did 8 hrs. on low.) would chicken cook in a slow cooker in 2 hrs. & still be juicy? not really sure. i’m new to cooking & don’t know much about anything.

Fantastic! I made this as on a Sunday morning with a fourteen month old at my feet and my parents in town. It took me literally five minutes to throw together and was a great dinner! My family loved it!
