Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Filling

Nate could hardly wait for these to bake! He was eating the chicken right out of the crock pot. He really loved these enchiladas. They are super simple and big on flavor. I combined a few ideas I had to make this filling. Hope you enjoy it! Ingredients: 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts juice of 1/2 a lime 1/2 cup of tomato sauce 1 cube Knorr's Caldo de Tomate (mine comes in cubes if yours comes in powder form use 1 Tbsp.) 1/2 tsp. garlic powder 3 Tbsp. chili powder 1/4 tsp. cumin 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour 2 cups chicken broth For the enchiladas: burrito sized flour tortillas refried beans (heated through with 1 Tbsp. taco seasoning) shredded cheese Preparation: Get crock pot heating on low. Add chicken and squirt lime juice over the top. In a medium size pot heat chicken broth, tomato sauce, flour, cumin, chili powder, garlic powd er, and caldo de tomate, and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes whisking constantly. Once finished, pour over chicken. Cover crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until chicken is cooked through. After it's done cooking remove chicken from crock pot and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Then shred and return shredded chicken to the crock pot. Let it absorb some sauce for 20-30 minutes on warm. Now you're done and can make your enchiladas! Spread a little bit of sauce into the bottom of your baking dish. Warm your tortillas so they are pliable and easier to work with. Spread some of the bean mixture onto the bottom 1/3 of the tortilla, top that with some chicken, and then add a little shredded cheese. Roll up and add enchilada to the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Top the enchiladas with some additional sauce and some shredded cheese. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until cheese is nicely melted. Serve hot and enjoy! via Durfee Family Recipes http://durfeefamilyrecipes.blogspot.com/2013/08/slow-cooker-chicken-enchilada-filling.html
