These enchiladas are a great option for a vegetarian or vegan meal. Just omit the chicken or turkey and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

I made these enchiladas in a slow cooker and they turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and cooked them on low for 8 hours. They were perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
