Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crockpot Chicken Enchiladas Casserole
  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot. Pour the red enchilada sauce over the chicken, followed by the fire-roasted tomatoes.
  2. Add Seasoning and Vegetables: Sprinkle the chopped green chiles across the mix, and coat everything with taco seasoning. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients.
  3. Set the Cooking Temperature: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set your slow cooker to cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the lid and use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot.
  5. Mix in the Other Ingredients: Stir in half of the shredded cheese along with the black beans and corn. Add the tortilla wedges gently into the mixture.
  6. Melt the Cheese: Cover the crockpot again and cook for an additional 20 to 30 minutes on high.
  7. Serve with Toppings: Turn off the crockpot and let the casserole sit for a few minutes before serving with toppings.
