Do you use corn or flour tortillas for slow cooker enchiladas?

  • you can use either! I chose to use Ole Extreme Wellness flour tortillas, because they are my favorite and hold up very well to the slow cooker
  • corn tortillas are also a great choice, although you will probably need a few more to use up all the filling
  • try this recipe both ways and decide what you like best!

Can you really make enchiladas in a slow cooker?

  • Yes!! Using your slow cooker is a great way to get dinner started early before your busy day takes over
  • You can prepare the filling ahead of time and quickly assemble these in the morning
  • You can use a regular slow cooker and just layer everything, or use a casserole slow cooker to make traditional enchiladas

A few notes about these Slow Cooker Enchiladas:

  • make sure your tortillas are room temperature or a little warmer before rolling so they won’t break apart
  • to save time, you can layer it like a casserole (tortillas on top and bottom) instead of rolling and still have all the delicious flavor!
  • invest in a casserole slow cooker for dishes like this! It is truly amazing for casseroles and baked style dishes without turning on the oven

And finally…..

If you want to make this version of enchiladas but would rather just bake them, get my Easy Beef Enchilada recipe for the oven here!!

    If your slow cooker is small can you stack the enchiladas?
