Steps:
- 1. Start up crock pot, put just 1/4 of a can of enchilada sauce in the pot.
- 2. Put chicken in, and pour the rest of the first can or enchilada sauce in the pot.
- 3. Let cook on Low for 7-8 hours or High for 3-4 hours. 1 hour before you want to assemble the enchiladas, take chicken out and shred it.
- 4. Put chicken back in crock with enchilada sauce and let simmer for about 30-60 minutes. (You don't have to do this, but it makes the chicken more flavorful because you are getting the sauce all over the chicken).
- 5. Pre-heat oven to 350. Pull out a 9X13 pan to put the enchildadas inches Pour enchilada sauce, just enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
- 6. Start assembling the enchiladas by scooping up some chicken and putting in the tortillas, topped with cheese.
- 7. Roll the filled tortillas and put in to the 9X13. Keeping doing this until the chicken is all gone or the pan is filled. ( I squish a lot of enchiladas in one pan).
- 8. Pour remaining enchilada sauce on top and top with remaining cheese.
- 9. Put in to preheated oven for 20 minutes. Just enough to warm all the way through.

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soak them in hot water for a few minutes before filling them, to make them more pliable.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: You want the enchiladas to be able to roll up easily without breaking. Too much filling will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to fall apart.
- Use a variety of fillings: Enchiladas are a great way to use up leftover chicken, beef, or beans. You can also add vegetables, cheese, and your favorite sauce. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different sauces: Enchiladas can be made with a variety of sauces, including tomato sauce, chili sauce, or mole sauce. Choose a sauce that you like and that complements the other ingredients in the enchiladas.
- Cook the enchiladas until they are hot and bubbly: This will ensure that they are cooked through and that the cheese is melted. You can cook the enchiladas in the oven, in a skillet, or in a slow cooker.
Conclusion:
Enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They're perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make enchiladas that your whole family will love.
