CROCK POT CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

• 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.
