Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz) jar taco sauce
  • 1/2 large yellow onion finely diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 2 (1 oz) packets taco seasoning
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
  • 1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce
  • 15 corn tortillas cut into 8ths (about 1/2 of a 25 oz bag of tortillas)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (8 oz) block cheddar cheese shredded
  • Salt to taste (I used 1 teaspoon)
  • Sour cream, green onions, salsa, red onion, pico de gallo, guacamole, etc. for serving

Instructions

  • Grease a 6 quart crockpot with cooking spray.
  • Pour in taco sauce.
  • Place onions and bell peppers on top, then sprinkle with 1 packet of taco seasoning.
  • Place chicken on top, then pour on the remaining packet of taco seasoning, diced green chiles, and enchilada sauce. 

  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours.
  • Remove the chicken breasts, shred or cube the chicken, then return to crockpot.
  • Stir in tortillas, sour cream, and half the cheese.
  • Taste and season with salt, to taste, if desired.
  • Top the rest of the cheese.
  • Cover and cook until cheese has melted, about 10-15 minutes ON LOW (you don’t want to do too much more than that or the tortillas will get too soft).
  • Serve with optional toppings and enjoy!
