Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
2 teaspoons ground cumin
16 corn tortillas
One 10-ounce can green enchilada sauce
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can whole corn kernels, drained
8 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated
1 cup salsa verde, plus more for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
Sliced avocado, for serving
One 10-ounce can red enchilada sauce
2 cups cooked chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup red salsa, plus more for serving
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Fold a large piece of foil in half and slide it vertically down the center of a 6-quart slow cooker to create a wall that divides the cooker insert into two compartments; make sure it fits snugly.
  • Mix the cream cheese and cumin in a medium bowl until smooth and combined.
  • For the green enchiladas: Place 2 tortillas slightly overlapping on the bottom of one compartment of the slow cooker. Spread 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the tortillas, then pour over a quarter of the green enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with a third of the black beans, a third of the corn and 1/4 cup of the pepper jack cheese. Repeat 2 more times and top with 2 tortillas. Pour over the remaining green enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining pepper jack cheese.
  • For the red enchiladas: Place 2 tortillas slightly overlapping on the bottom of the empty side of the slow cooker. Spread 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the tortillas, then pour over a quarter of the red enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with a third of the chicken and 1/4 cup of the Cheddar. Repeat 2 more times and top with the last 2 tortillas. Pour over the remaining red enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the cheese is melted and bubbling, the filling is heated through and the sides of the tortillas are crisp, 4 to 6 hours.
  • Garnish individual servings of green enchiladas with more salsa verde, cilantro and avocado, if desired. Garnish individual servings of red enchiladas with more red salsa and hot sauce, if desired.
