  • Author: Miya
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 flour tortillas
– 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (or beef, or beans for vegetarian option)
– 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
– 1 cup enchilada sauce
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
– 1 small onion, diced
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
– Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating delicious cooker enchiladas is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for a successful meal:

1. Prep the Cooker: Start by greasing your slow cooker with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken, black beans, corn, diced onion, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Assemble the Tortillas: Take a flour tortilla and add a generous scoop of the filling mixture in the center. Sprinkle with cheese, then roll the tortilla tightly.
4. Place in Cooker: Lay each rolled tortilla seam-side down in the slow cooker. Continue this process until all tortillas are filled and placed in the cooker.
5. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top.
6. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set to low for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Once cooked, gently scoop out the enchiladas with a spatula. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and alongside sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

These steps will lead you to a fantastic and satisfying dinner experience with minimal fuss.
