  • 10 Ounces Canned Red Enchilada Sauce
  • 16 Ounces Shredded Mexican Cheese Mix
  • 12 Ounces Queso Fresco Cheese

Instructions

    3 Pounds Lean Ground Chicken
  • Add the chili con carne spice and the chicken stock and simmer till cooked.
    3 Tablespoon Chili Con Carne Spice –¼ Cup Chicken Stock
  • While the chicken is browning, prepare the vegetables.
  • The onions and peppers should be cut rather small.
  • You will be adding those in raw.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the peppers, onions, beans (that you have rinsed) and the chicken.
    10 Whole Mini Bell Peppers –1 Medium Yellow Onion –15 Ounces Canned Black Beans –3 Pounds Lean Ground Chicken
  • Stir well.
  • In a 6 quart or larger slow cooker, pour in some of the salsa on the bottom and make sure the bottom is covered with a thin layer.
    8 Ounces Jarred Salsa
  • Start building your enchiladas.
  • Take one tortilla and fill it with about 1/3 cup of the filling.
    10 – 12 Medium Flour Tortillas
  • Sprinkle about 1 tbsp of the cheese mix on top of the filling.
    16 Ounces Shredded Mexican Cheese Mix
  • Fold the sides in first, then start rolling the tortilla until you have a nice little package.
  • Place seam side down into the crock-pot.
  • Repeat and layer until you have created a 1st layer.
  • Pour a thin layer of salsa over the bottom layer of enchiladas.
