Recipe Tips
- Feel free to add more cheese if you absolutely love it. The more cheese, the better!
- If you do not have a round slow cooker, then you can tear the tortillas so that they will layer properly.
- Do not forget that you can make taco seasoning at home with just some regular household spices and herbs. The best thing is that you can alter the ingredients to suit your taste buds better.
- You can use just one tortilla per layer, but I have found using two really helps reduce the chicken enchilada stack from becoming soggy.
- Wheat tortillas work just as well as corn tortillas, so feel to use the one that you like best.
