Ingredients
    Crock Pot Ingredients
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (uncooked)
    1/2 cup of chopped onion
    1/2 cup of chopped green pepper
    1/2 cup of chopped red pepper
    1 (14 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
    1/4 cup tomato sauce
    1/4 cup chicken broth
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    1 teaspoon marjoram
    1 teaspoon cumin
    1 teaspoon chili
    1/2 chopped mushroom (personal preference, I throw these in for the last for the last part of cooking)
    salt and pepper (to taste)
    For the Enchiladas
    6 -8 tortillas
    canola oil
    1 (8 ounce) can refried beans
    1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided (or a mixture or Jack and cheddar)
    canola oil cooking spray
    sour cream, for topping
Preparation
    Place chicken in crock pot and add all crock pot ingredients.( I make sure the stewed tomatoes and veggies are on top of the chicken.).
    Cook on low for 8 hours.
    Turn and stir about halfway through.
    Add mushrooms (if using)
    Mix and stir chicken with a fork,breaking it apart ( It will shred on its own this way).
    Chicken mixture will be saucy thats ok thats where the flavor is! I take out what I am using for the tortillas with a slotted spoon. I always have chicken leftover and I freeze the rest.
    For Enchiladas-.
    Set oven to 350 degrees.
    Spray 9 by 13 inch pan with canola spray (I line my pan with foil first).
    Heat canola oil in a pan and fry tortillas 10 -15 seconds on each side.
    Spread one tbls of refried beans on one half of the tortilla.
    Sprinkle with cheese and top with shredded chicken mixture ( about 2 tablespoons, whatever you prefer.).
    Roll or fold over.
    Place in oven and cook for 10 minutes.
    Sprinkle remaining cheese and cook for 5 more minutes.
    Top with sour cream and serve with rice. ( we use red beans and rice).
