    Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada NachosNothing like the feeling of making your family's faces light up when they sit down to the dinner table than by setting a huge plate of nachos in front of them! Or, you could keep them all for yourself! Whatever works...just make these delicious and easy nachos right away! Use your slow cooker to make a big batch of juicy enchilada chicken and then dinner time prep will be no problem!

    Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Nachos

    I made a simple homemade enchilada sauce to beat all enchilada sauces! A little smoky with some ancho chili powder and roasted garlic tomato sauce but you could go a little more traditional with plain tomato sauce and regular chili powder.

    If you make up the sauce ahead of time you can just throw it in the slow cooker with the chicken early in the day without any stress. Then when it's done, simply shred it up and it's ready to use.

    On a big sheet pan, lay out your chips and then top with shredded cheese and plenty of the chicken. I highly recommend shredding your own cheese from a block, by the way, because it won't have the anti-caking powder on it and therefore will melt much easier. I recently got myself this salad shooter for the sole purposes of shredding cheese (we eat a lot of cheese I guess!) and it's amazing. Of course, another easy and quick option is a box grater like the one I've used for years.

    Melt that cheese in the oven for a few minutes then the real fun begins...toppings! Think anything and everything you'd want in or on your enchiladas. I went for black beans, corn, tomatoes, onions, sweet peppers, cilantro and, of course, plenty of sour cream. You're only limited by your imagination here!
