Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 chopped onion and 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, sprinkling in 1 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onions become soft and lightly browned.
- Transfer the sautéed onion mixture to your slow cooker. Pour in 2 cups of enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup of sour cream, along with a splash of water if necessary. Stir gently to combine, then fold in a 15-ounce can of rinsed and drained black beans.
- Nestle 1 to 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts directly into the mixture in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is submerged.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and can be shredded easily.
- After shredding the chicken, stir in 4 strips of corn tortillas and spread 4 ounces of shredded cheese over the top. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes on high.
- Once the cheese is melted, serve the enchiladas, garnished with fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, and any additional toppings desired. Serve with cilantro lime rice.
