Enchiladas in a Slow Cooker

By

A Taste of Home recipe. Particularly good for busy moms. Or those of us who like meals ready when we get home. I actually reduce the salt and add more pepper and cumin for a stronger flavor.

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and green pepper and seasonings until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the next 4 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Combine cheeses.

Crisp up the tortilla in in skillet just till they hold their shape.

In a 5-qt. slow cooker, layer about 3/4 cup beef mixture, one tortilla and about 1/3 cup cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours or until heated through. Yield: 4 servings.

Hint:
You can line your crockpot with tin foil so you can lift out the whole thing.
