How To Make cheesy green chile chicken crock pot enchiladas

  • Prepared rice and corn in a bowl.
    Step 1
    Cook Rice-a-Roni according to directions on the box. Add corn after you add water and seasoning packet.
  • Chilies, chicken, pinto beans, salsa, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheese, chili powder, and rice stirred together.
    Step 2
    While rice is cooking, combine in a large bowl: chilies, chicken, pinto beans, 1/2 the salsa, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, 1 cup of cheese, and the chili powder. When rice is done cooking, add half the cooked rice to the other ingredients and stir all together.
  • Filling added to tortillas and placed in the slow cooker.
    Step 3
    Spray Crock Pot with non-stick spray. Cut the 6 tortillas in half. Put a large spoonful of filling in the middle of the tortilla and put seam-side down in the bottom of Crock Pot.
  • Rice, salsa, and cheese spread over the layer.
    Step 4
    Spread remaining rice, salsa, and cheese over each layer.
  • Continuing to layer the ingredients.
    Step 5
    Depending on how large your Crock Pot is, you will get either 2 or 3 layers.
  • Slow cooker set to cook.
    Step 6
    Turn Crock Pot on low and let everything get all melty and cozy (about 4 hours on low or 2 1/2 hours on high).
