Instructions

Salsa Chicken

  • Add chicken breasts to a slow cooker. Cover with salsa and sprinkle in garlic powder. Allow to cook on low for 8 hours or high 4 hours.
  • Once cooked, remove chicken from slow cooker and shred. Add to a bowl and add back any salsa solids for extra flavoring.

  • In a baking dish, layer several spoonfuls of enchilada sauce and spread across the bottom, reserving the remaining for topping.
  • Take tortilla and add shredded chicken, onion and pepper mix, and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll tightly, and lay in dish. Repeat for all wraps.
  • Top rolled tortillas with the remaining enchilada sauce, then sprinkle with any remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until warmed through. Broil 1-2 minutes for bubbly cheese. Serve with avocado and cilantro, as desired.
