Slow Cooker Black Bean Enchiladas Recipes

SLOW-COOKER BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the onion, pepper, black beans, corn, spices, meat (if using), and just 1/2 cup of the cheese. Pour about a cup of salsa (half a jar) into the bottom of the slow cooker and spread it around evenly. Scoop about 1/3 cup into one of the tortillas, roll it up, and nestle it into the bottom of the crock pot. Repeat with the half of the remaining filling, rolling tortillas until the entire bottom of of the crock pot is filled. Spread another cup of salsa over this layer and sprinkle it with another 1/2 cup of cheese. Continue with the remaining filling and tortillas to create a second layer. Top with another cup of salsa, but reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese for later. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2-4 hours. In the last 15 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the leftover cheese over the top and let it melt. Serve the enchiladas with the remaining salsa. Leftovers will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator. Additional Notes: • You can cook the enchiladas for longer (6-8 hours on LOW), but we found that the tortillas in the middle start to get mushy while the ones touching the sides of the cooker get crispy. Still tasty, though! • To cook these enchiladas in the oven, layer the rolled tortillas in a 9x13 baking pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with cheese, and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes. • We haven't tried it, but we so reason why this recipe couldn't be doubled if your slow cooker is big enough. Just continue creating layers in the slow cooker and bake as usual.

Steps:

• Fold a large piece of foil in half and slide it vertically down the center of a 6-quart slow cooker to create a wall that divides the cooker insert into two compartments; make sure it fits snugly.
• Mix the cream cheese and cumin in a medium bowl until smooth and combined.
• For the green enchiladas: Place 2 tortillas slightly overlapping on the bottom of one compartment of the slow cooker. Spread 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the tortillas, then pour over a quarter of the green enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with a third of the black beans, a third of the corn and 1/4 cup of the pepper jack cheese. Repeat 2 more times and top with 2 tortillas. Pour over the remaining green enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining pepper jack cheese.
• For the red enchiladas: Place 2 tortillas slightly overlapping on the bottom of the empty side of the slow cooker. Spread 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over the tortillas, then pour over a quarter of the red enchilada sauce. Sprinkle with a third of the chicken and 1/4 cup of the Cheddar. Repeat 2 more times and top with the last 2 tortillas. Pour over the remaining red enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar.
• Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the cheese is melted and bubbling, the filling is heated through and the sides of the tortillas are crisp, 4 to 6 hours.
• Garnish individual servings of green enchiladas with more salsa verde, cilantro and avocado, if desired. Garnish individual servings of red enchiladas with more red salsa and hot sauce, if desired.
