    These have been one of my most popular recipes since I first posted, which I am not surprised! My easy homemade enchilada sauce really makes it outstanding, so dont skip that step! These are so good, I cant order them out now, because I am always disappointed.,I always have shredded chicken breast on hand, I usually make a whole package of chicken breast in my slow cooker to use for recipes throughout the week. Top the chicken with water or broth and cook low 4 to 6 hours. Leftover chicken would also work. The enchilada sauce in this recipe is so good I created a separate post for it, I usually make double and freeze the rest!,Enchiladas can be filled with anything you can think of! In this Chicken Enchiladas recipe, used shredded chicken breast, but heres a few more ideas.,Vegetarian enchiladas are great with refried beans or zucchini and cheese, then topped with sauce and more cheese.,Leftover taco meat or picadillo also makes a great filling for enchiladas. You can use beef or turkey for this.,For a pork option, try this Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas.,Great with Yellow Rice or Cilantro Lime Rice,Keep it low-carb with veggie rice such as Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice or Mexican Cauliflower Rice,Leftovers are great the next day with a few avocado slices
