Think outside the dish. You can enjoy the flavor and texture of enchiladas in a slow cooker; just stack the tortillas instead of rolling them. We suggest lining your slow cooker with a slow-cooker bag so you can easily remove the stack from the cooker. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon canola oil |
1 cup onion, chopped |
1/2 cup poblano chile, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 1/2 teaspoons dried chipotle powder |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, drained |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce with basil garlic and oregano |
cooking spray |
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts |
1 cup frozen corn |
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained |
5 (8 inch) corn tortillas |
2 cups shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
fresh cilantro stem (optional) |
Directions:
1. 1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion, poblano chile, and garlic to pan; cook 6 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring frequently.
2. 2. Stir in chile powder, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Place half of tomato mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until almost smooth. Pour into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining tomato mixture.
3. 3. Coat a 5-quart round electric slow cooker with cooking spray; place 3 tablespoons tomato mixture in bottom of slow cooker. Combine remaining tomato mixture, chicken, corn, and beans.
4. 4. Place one tortilla on sauce in slow cooker; pour 1 cup chicken mixture over tortilla; sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. Top with another tortilla. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken mixture, tortillas, and cheese. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours or until cheese melts and edges are lightly browned. Garnish with cilantro, if desired. Cut into 8 wedges.
