Tips:
- Simmer the sauce: For a richer flavor, simmer the enchilada sauce for at least 15 minutes before using.
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your enchiladas more pliable and easier to roll.
- Don't overfill the tortillas: Overfilling the tortillas will make them difficult to roll and may cause them to fall apart.
- Layering is key: Layer the enchiladas in a single layer in the slow cooker. This will help them cook evenly.
- Cover the enchiladas with sauce: Be sure to cover the enchiladas completely with sauce. This will help them stay moist and flavorful.
- Cook on low: Cook the enchiladas on low for 6-8 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
