Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 8 pieces corn tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 can diced green chiles
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 piece lime
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot and sprinkle them evenly with the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Pour 1 cup of the enchilada sauce over the chicken breasts and add the can of diced green chiles.

Step 3

Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Step 4

Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and mix it with the sauce.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Spread a thin layer of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Take a corn tortilla and fill it with a generous portion of the shredded chicken mixture and a sprinkle of both shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.

Step 8

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, ensuring they are fully covered.

Step 9

Top the dish with the remaining shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11
