Slow-Cooker Chicken Enchilada Melts image

After tasting a similar recipe at a sandwich shop, I knew I had to try my own version at home. Personally, I like mine even more! I like to mix equal parts salsa and ranch dressing to make a tasty sauce for these sandwiches. -Blair Lonergan, Rochelle, Virginia

This recipe is a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables. I always add a cup of chopped zucchini or carrots to the chicken enchilada melts, and my kids love them.

I love that this recipe can be made in the slow cooker. It is so easy to just throw all of the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook all day. I always have dinner ready when I get home from work.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have leftover chicken from roasting a whole chicken, and this recipe is a great way to use it up.
