ENCHILADA MEAT FROM THE CROCK POT
My daughter, Alicia, brought this recipe home from a camping trip. Their recipe was pretty simple and lacked the tastes that I prefer in my cooking, so we tweaked it to our own tastes. We eat it either wrapped in warm flour tortillas and dripping down our hands and arms, or I have wrapped it in corn tortillas dipped into the warm sauce and laid out in a casserole dish and covered with the rest of the sauce and sprinkled with shredded cheese for typical enchiladas.

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.

EASY CROCK POT BEEF ENCHILADAS
This is an easy version of my easy oven baked beef enchiladas. There is probably a recipe like this, but I didn't use one and will make it often as it turned out well. It's also very easy. My hubby was hungry for this, but I wasn't going to be home, so I threw this together about 2 pm. He got home about 6 pm and said the smell was so good, he didn't take time to change clothes. I came in about 8 pm and even tho he had turned it off, it was warm and very good. Be sure not to over-cook as it will be dry and the tortillas tough on the edges. I think 4 hours would be the perfect amount of time. Serve with warm flour tortillas and butter or chips.

I adopted this recipe from a very sweet chef: CBW. "My mom found this in a TOH magazine and passed the recipe on to me (well, I begged her for it after she made it!(=) I love good crock pot recipes and this one is no exception. There are some other enchilada recipes on here, but this one was a little different, so, I decided to add it to the database! I hope you'll enjoy it, too!"
