Ingredients
1large (28-ounce) cancrushed tomatoes(fire-roasted, if you can find them)
1tablespoongranulated sugar
1tablespoonancho chile powder
2teaspoonsKosher salt + a pinch
2teaspoonsgarlic powder
2teaspoonscumin
1teaspoononion powder
1 ½poundchicken breasts (about 4 chicken breast halves)
2cupsfreshly grated Monterey Jack cheese
12-14corn tortillas
Instructions
Add the crushed tomatoes, ⅓ cup water, and spices to the crockpot and stir. Add the chicken breasts and cook on low for 4-5 or on high 2-3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350° and have ready a 9x13" casserole dish.
Once the chicken is ready, remove it from the crock-pot and allow it to cool slightly. Shred the chicken and transfer to a mixing bowl along with a ¼ cup of the sauce from the crock-pot. Add a generous pinch of salt to the bowl, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, and mix with a fork until combined.
To warm the tortillas for rolling, stack 6 tortillas in the center of a damp paper towel, and microwave for 45 seconds. Repeat until all of the tortillas are warm and pliable.
Add a thin layer of the sauce to the bottom of the casserole dish and begin assembling the enchiladas.
Add about 3 tablespoons worth of filling to each tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam-side down across the casserole dish. Top with the remaining sauce, followed by the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!
