Your family is going to love this fantastic tasting recipe for Crock-Pot Enchiladas! Filled with a delicious ground beef filling and topped with cheese you just cannot go wrong with this great recipe!
Slow Cooker Enchiladas
Mexican food is always good in my opinion, any night of the week I am down for something with some FLAVOR!
And these ground beef enchiladas are EASY to make and taste amazing! The hardest part of this recipe, if browning up some extra lean ground beef in a skillet.
The rest of the process goes down easy.
Once your ground beef is cooked you mix it with some diced tomatoes and green chilies. Then take your corn tortillas and dip them into your favorite brand of red enchilada sauce and roll them up around some of the ground beef mixture.
Place those rolled tortillas seam side down in the bottom of your slow cooker and top with some shredded cheese and olives and let the whole thing cook for just 2 hours on HIGH or 4 hours on LOW.
To make this a complete dinner I like to throw down some crockpot refried beans and some Mexican rice on the side and dig in. Maybe with a margarita if I am feeling into it.
YUM!

Yum. My kids don’t like spicy either so this would be great for us.
Guess I better find a better brand of corn tortillas next time! I barely got these to stay together long enough to get into the crockpot! Any suggestions on brand of tortilla?
I’ve had good luck with Mission tortillas!
Still taste fine, but the tortillas get really soggy and it’s more like a casserole, I’ll stick to baking them in the oven from now on. Thought I’d give it a try but didn’t work out.
The flavors are delish but my tortillas basically broke down and were like cooked cornmeal.
I am sorry to hear that Gigi! Perhaps it was the brand of tortillas? I have made this several times and never had that happen so I am not sure how to advise…
