Equipment

  • Crockpot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 2 jars salsa verde
  • 10-12 tortillas (use whatever you like)
  • 1 cup monterrey jack
  • 1 cup pepper jack
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 1 bunch cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken in the crockpot with ½ the jar of one salsa.
  • Cook on low all day (8 hours) or high for at least four hours. You can also use the poultry setting on your Instant pot, or pick up a rotisserie chicken.
  • Once you are ready to assemble the enchiladas, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray a 9 by 13 pan with olive or avocado oil and then spread a little bit of salsa in the bottom as well.
  • Using a hand mixer, shred the chicken.
  • Take the tortillas (if you're using corn, wrap them in damp paper towel and warm them up for 20-30 seconds in the microwave) and add the shredded chicken, some cheese and then roll them up and place it in the pan.
  • Repeat until you have used up your ingredients.
  • Once all of the enchiladas are lined up, pour the half and full jar of salsa over the top. Sprinkle any remaining cheese on the top as well.
  • Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbling.
  • Serve with fresh cilantro, avocado, sour cream and a side salad or rice!
