CHICKEN ENCHILADA STACK
Think outside the "dish." You can enjoy the flavor and texture of enchiladas in a slow cooker; just stack the tortillas instead of rolling them. We suggest lining your slow cooker with a slow-cooker bag so you can easily remove the stack from the cooker.

Tips:
- To make the chicken enchilada stacks even more flavorful, marinate the chicken in a mixture of chili powder, cumin, garlic, and lime juice for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have any enchilada sauce on hand, you can make your own by simmering tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili peppers, and cumin in a saucepan until the sauce has thickened.
- To make the cheese sauce, use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well. You can also add other cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or pepper Jack, to taste.
- When assembling the chicken enchilada stacks, be sure to layer the ingredients evenly so that each bite has a little bit of everything.
- To prevent the chicken enchilada stacks from falling apart, bake them in a casserole dish that is just big enough to hold them.
Conclusion:
Chicken enchilada stacks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that your family and friends will love.
