Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin your Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Casserole by placing a layer of corn tortillas at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Next, sprinkle half of your shredded cooked chicken evenly over the tortillas and pour about half of your gluten-free enchilada sauce over the chicken.
  3. Now, add in a generous layer of black or pinto beans, distributing them evenly across the chicken and sauce.
  4. If you prefer to include vegetables, add chopped bell peppers and zucchini for added nutrition and flavor.
  5. Repeat the layering process with the remaining tortillas, chicken, enchilada sauce, beans, and cheese.
  6. Cover your slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for about 5 hours.
  7. Once the cooking time is complete, serve your casserole warm and garnish with fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream.
