Best slow cook Enchiladas ever made. I used enchilada sauce in place of the tomatoes and seasoning and still enjoyed it. Will be making again. Thank you.

Delicious and easy! I found this recipe at www.tasteofhome.com. Who knew you could make enchiladas in a quarter of the time. Yummy! Thank you for posting this great recipe.

This was really good! I used corn tortillas instead of the flour and cooked for 4 hours in a crockpot. The tortillas stayed nice and firm. Will definitely make again. Everyone from adult down to 2 liked this.
