Easy & Healthy slow Cooker Chicken Enchiladas

4 servings

Ingredients

b

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast or chicken thighs

S

1 packet Siete mild taco seasoning

r

12 ounces red enchilada sauce

c

1 can corn rinsed and drained

b

1 can black beans rinsed and drained

S

8 Siete almond flour tortillas

s

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

O

Optional toppings Fresh cilantro sliced jalapeños, a dollop of sour cream or low fat greek yogurt, or a squeeze of lime juice.

Directions

1

Layer it up - Place your chicken breast or thighs in the bottom of your slow cooker. Add in the taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, corn, and black beans. Give it a little stir so the chicken is coated in all that flavor.

2

Cook - Cover and cook on high for 2-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours, depending on how hot your slow cooker runs.

3

Shred, add tortillas and cheese - Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, shred it right in the pot. About 10 minutes before serving, slice your tortillas into strips and stir them into the mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover, and cook for another 5-10 minutes until melted and gooey.

4

Garnish & serve - Top with jalapeños, fresh cilantro, lime juice, or a dollop of sour cream. Serve hot and dig in!

Notes

Serving: 1serving Calories: 558kcal Carbohydrates: 30g (Fiber: 5g) Protein: 48g Fat: 29g Substitutions Cheese - Try Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a little kick. Use fat-free cheese if desired. Tortillas - Use corn or flour tortillas instead of almond flour if you prefer a traditional flavor. Extra veggies - Toss in zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach for more color and nutrients. Dairy-free- Skip the added cheese to make this recipe dairy-free. Vegetarian- Use double the black beans instead of chicken and heat in a pan instead to make this recipe vegetarian. This recipe is gluten-free as is. I use the Siete brand and almond flour tortillas. Just make sure to check that all the products that you are using are certified gluten-free if you are making substitutions. Variations Spicy -Add chili powder, diced green chiles, and use a hot siete taco seasoning packet or even hot sauce for more heat and a bolder flavor! Storage Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freezer: Freeze in portions for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on medium heat until warmed through. Christina's Dietitian Tip This dish is loaded with grams of protein from the chicken and beans, plus extra fiber from the corn and black beans! To keep it balanced, I love serving it with a side of roasted veggies or a crisp green salad. If you want to lighten it up a bit, try topping with plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream which is creamy and adds even more protein!
