Cheese and Chile Enchiladas


YUMMY!
I cooked my chicken in the crockpot for 5 hours to get it super shreddable. Doing it that way freed me up to go and do things all day and just throw this meal together in less than 15 minutes.

I was only able to fit 8 in my 9 x 13 pan, so I put the last two in a smaller baking dish, I wasn't going to miss out on leftovers!

Hubby put it best "it's the kind of food that is so good, it just makes you keep eating, even after you are full!"

I tagged this as "spicy" due to the chiles, but as someone who doesn't like spicy, it was fine for me to eat. You might want to use more, hot sauce, or whatever to spice it up for yourself

  7. Great idea to do the chicken in a crock pot before the time. That's going to make it so much easier to make these. We all love our enchiladas
