Do you have plans for dinner tonight?? Looking for Easy Family Dinner Ideas?
Well if not- I have the easiest enchilada recipe that you can whip up & your family will rave over!!! You know I am all about making things easy in the kitchen. I do best when it comes to things that are not so complicated – at least when it comes to dinner. I have a short attention span for things that are not sweets- so dishes like this make me happy.
This recipe will make 20 enchiladas – which with the way my kids eat, is barely enough.
You could half the recipe if you don’t need that many.
This is something we serve for guests & when we have to bring something for pot luck night.
Easy Enchiladas {Recipe}
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can of beer
- 1 stick butter
- 2 heaping tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 apple- cut in half
- 4 tbsp garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
20 corn tortillas
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 large bag shredded cheese
- 1 can diced olives opt
- 1 large can enchilada sauce
Instructions
- Add chicken, beer, butter, garlic, apple, garlic powder & salt & pepper to slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 5-6 hours until you are easily able to shred chicken.
- When done cooking- Use slotted spoon & transfer the chicken to separate bowl.
- Shred chicken with 2 forks. Ladle a couple cups of liquid from slow cooker over chicken to keep moist.
Preheat oven to 350.
- Spray 2- 9x13 glass baking pans.
- Heat your refried beans.
To assemble your enchiladas
- Stack 5 tortillas on a plate with a paper towel underneath, on top & in-between each one.
- Microwave for 60 seconds. This makes the tortillas soft & flexible.
- Working quickly add a scoop of chicken, then beans, then cheese & roll. Place in prepared pan.
- Repeat for all 20 tortillas.
- Pour enchilada sauce over the top of both pans of enchiladas.
- Top with remaining meat, cheese & olives.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove.
- Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
