Crock Pot Enchiladas

"Do not limit your self to using hamburger this recipe is excellent for using left over roast/chicken etc. Make it as hot as you want or as mild. This recipe went over very well with my recent company and done in the crock pot kept the heat out of the kitchen. I served them with refried beans, & fresh salsa The end result of the recipe produces soft enchiladas where the flavors have blended and they practically melt in your mouth"

directions

  • Spray a large skillet lightly with veggie oil.
  • Brown the hamburger, make sure there are no lumps (if using cooked chicken or other cooked meats do the next step before this one then add the cooked meat to the onions etc).
  • Add onions, garlic, mushrooms, saute until the onions are translucent.
  • Add peppers cook 3 minutes.
  • Mix the taco& salsa sauces.
  • Remove from heat and add 3/4 cup taco/salsa sauce.
  • Lay out the tortillas and spoon approx 3/4 cup of the meat mixture into the middle of each tortilla.
  • Sprinkle with a tbsp of cheese.
  • Roll the tortillas and fasten with a tooth pick.
  • Put 1 cup of the taco sauce on the bottom of your crock pot.
  • Place the rolled tortillas side by side Pour in 3/4 cup of taco sauce On the bottom layer (this will help the tortillas from sticking).
  • Place second layer of tortillas and top with the remaining sauce.
  • Cook on low heat for 3-4 hours.
  • Be very careful removing the top layer so you do not tear them.
  • Place on a warm platter, top each enchilada with a streak of sour cream, sprinkle remaining cheese over top Garnish with avacados and green onions.
  • If you wish you can place under broiler for a minute to brown the cheesE (it melts on it's own).

  1. I made these today. YUMMMMM!!!! Next time I will add more jalapeno as my husband and I like things spicy, but other than that I wouldn't change anything!
     
  2. I love crockpot recipes. These were easy to make and had a great flavor but I foung the tortillas a little "doughy" for my taste. I wonder how these would be with corn tortillas.
     
  3. Very good! I make a recipe very similar. The only changes I make are: rotel instead of the salsa and taco sauce and no mushrooms. I also add black beans. Otherwise, it's the same. It makes such a yummy dish which we usually eat with scoop chips. I like your additions for green onion and avocado--that made it super yummy!
     
  4. These were really fantastic. I brought them to work for a potluck and everyone loved this dish including me but the ending result was an enchilada casserole instead of enchiladas. I did use corn tortillas instead of flour because I just prefer corn over flour when making enchiladas. That may have been the reason that I had this problem. I also mixed the taco sauce and salsa in with enchilada sauce since I love the taste of enchilada sauce. I would make these again but the next time I will stick with flour tortillas instead. The flavor is outsatnding though. Thank you.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
