Slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

We are big fans of Mexican food in our house. There isn't usually a week that goes by where we don't have fajitas at the weekend or a slow cooker chilli with tortilla chips but a recent firm favourite of ours is slow cooker enchiladas. 
Slow Cooker chicken enchiladas
I definitely haven't used our slow cooker much this year but as we're now fully into Autumn, it's the perfect time to bring it out again. The great thing about this enchilada recipe is that you can change it up however you wish. To save time and make life easier, I cook the chicken in a spicy sauce in the slow cooker but you could just do it in the oven if you'd prefer. If you wanted to you could add kidney beans or sweetcorn to the mix to bulk it out a little. You could fry up some Quorn chicken, add the sauce and simmer until thick if making it meat free. There's just so many ways to change this meal up and that's exactly what I like about it as I get bored easily! This specific recipe is for how I usually make these enchiladas but do with it what you wish.

Ingredients: for 2 people
2 chicken breasts
1 pepper, finely diced
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
500g passata
1 tsp mixed herbs
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp cumin powder
Sprinkle of chilli flakes
Salt & pepper
4 wraps
40g mozzarella
40g grated cheddar cheese
Jalapenos
Basmati rice

Method:
1. Add your chicken breasts, crushed garlic and diced pepper to your slow cooker
2. In a jug measure out 500g of passata then add your mixed herbs, chilli powder, cumin, chilli flakes and salt and pepper and give it a good stir until everything is combined
3. Pour 400g of the passata mix over the chicken and give it all a gentle stir
4. Pop the lid on and cook on high for 4 hours
5. After 4 hours, pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees (180 fan) and then remove your chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. This is also when you can start your rice cooking in a saucepan
6. Pop the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker. Combine with the peppers and sauce mix and then add in 40g of grated mozzarella. When your rice is cooked, add that to the mix and give it all one final stir
7. Spray a large dish with frylight then start filling your wraps with the enchilada mix. We tend to get at least 4 wraps out of this mix but usually more
8. Pop each filled wrap seal side down into the dish and then pour over the remaining 100g of spicy passata you made earlier
9. Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese and top with a few jalapeno slices if you wish
10. Bake in the oven for around 25 minutes then serve

So that's how to make slow cooker chicken enchiladas! I find doing the majority of this in the slow cooker just saves me time and gives me one less thing to think about so it's always a winning meal in my eyes. Mexican heaven on a plate that's barely taken any effort at all!

This is something I've never thought of doing in a slow cooker - I tend to do, roasts, curriers and casseroles x

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.

I can't stop thanking Lord Zakuza for helping me bring back my girlfriend that left me for another man at her workplace.. I was shocked when she broke up with me and I needed help but everything I did to recover her back did not work. If not for the intervention of Lord Zakuza who I met online, I wouldn't have gotten back my girlfriend because Lord Zakuza prepared a love spell that brought her back to me within 48 hours. I love my girlfriend and I'm happy getting her back again. Thank you Lord Zakuza and I promise to share my experience with you to everybody so that anyone that needs help in any way can also get help too for you are a good and wonderful man that God has sent to help those who need help.. Here's his contact information just in case you need any help from him. WhatsApp/call/text this number +1 (740) 573-9483 or Email: Lordzakuza7@gmail.com

DR ISIKOLO IS A LIFE SAVER AND I CAN ASSURE YOU ABOUT THAT.
My name is Denisa Oscar and I am here to join the numerous people out here to thank Dr Isikolo for his help and kind gestures towards me. I had a horrible experience going through heartbreak with my man. He left me and I was devastated and couldn't find any sought of help to get him back. At some point I was depressed until I ran into pages where people testified about how Dr Isikolo helped them. I contacted him and he never hesitated to help me as well. Not only did I get my man back after 48 hours, the love and happiness has also been restored better than ever. Dr Isikolo is an amazing personality and I can't thank him enough for his selfless services towards humanity. contact him now via email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via WhatsApp: +234-8133261196.
