Chicken Enchilada Stack

Tried this using the corn tortillas because I heard flour tortillas came out mushy. I didn’t like the texture of the tortillas but everything else tasted good. Will probably eliminate this part next time and put on baked tortillas :-)

Leslie, it sounds like you have a hot crock. You may want to reduce the temperature in the future. Sorry, girl :/

This was the first recipe I have tried from you ladies that did not turn out. It burned in my crock pot after 4 hours on low. I salvaged it a bit by putting the non burned part n the oven. This made it not so mushy. This one may be better if done in a non stick crock pot, or maybe with the chicken already cooked. It was looking really good at 2 hours but the chicken was not done yet. Next time I will either do it in the oven or use already cooked chicken. I still love all your recipes!

First off I will start by saying this is the first recipe that I tried of yours that didn’t “turn out” I have tried others that were fabulous!

The flavor was good for the most part but I did fell like something was missing (seasonings maybe). I let the dish rest like you normally do for casseroles but it still didn’t come out very well, the bottom tortillas were burnt to the bottom of the crock pot (I used a slow cooker liner and sprayed it with cooking spray), if I try this one again I will have to mess around with it to get a more in depth flavor (it was pretty bland). Oh, I used corn tortillas (after watching your video I decided not to use flour).

Today I have the cowboy chicken in the cooker! Can’t wait to see how it taste.

P.S. Can you put what size cooker you use on all the recipes. I have my cowboy chicken in a 5 quart and it doesn’t seem to fill it even half way full, so I am thinking a 4 quart would be better, just want to know what you guys used! Thanks!!

Thank you for your comment on the Chicken Enchilada Stack. Sorry it did not work out for y’all.

These tasted like enchilades-but they were so mushy we couldn’t eat this. The top and bottom were OK but the layers in the middle were gross. Love Crockpot Girls-but this was a bust :(

Uncooked, Sherry. Ashlyn…did you let it rest before serving? I find that with casseroles it’s better not to serve when it’s super-hot, but let it cool slightly.

This was really good, BUT it didn’t turn out like the photo shows. It was very soupy/mushy like others described. Might work best if cooked in the oven in a shallow baking dish
(if you prefer it thicker like a casserole). Overall it was good and I would recommend it. Next time I cook it I will try it in a baking dish and not my crock pot.

Do you cook the chicken first or not?

This tasted good fresh out of the crock pot, but I found it did not reheat well as leftovers. It got all soggy and gross. Would be a good one if I was cooking for more people than two.

No steps missing, Lindsay. Steps 2 & 3 are combined but we’ll get that fixed. Thanks for noticing!

Is there a step missing to this recipe? It says step 6 at the end but there are no instructions. Just curious before I try making it. Thanks

This is like a meal in one dish, Bailey! I would just serve a salad and maybe some tortilla chips and salsa. http://crockingirls.com/recipes-category/summer-salads/

I’m really bad about sides.. what would be a good side to go with this?

Sorry it was a flop for you, Amy. Sounds like it may have cooked to long…some crocks cook hotter than others so you have to adjust the time. Also, once it cools it won’t be runny any longer. Hopefully, you’ll find the leftovers are yummy!

This was very mushy and runny. It tasted pretty good.

That’s awesome, Angela! Thanks for sharing!!!!

I made this recipe with my left over chicken from the “crock a chicken” recipe I had made from the night before. I cooked it on low for 4 hours and it turned out great. On a side note, I have been crockin 4-5 times a week for the last month using your recipes. It has been allowing me more time to be my kids. Plus there is always enough to feed my 8 month pregnant sister and her hubby.

Sorry is was a flop in your family. The consistency is intended to be soft, like a casserole. If you’re looking for a more firm recipe it will likely thicken up after cooling. Maybe your family will like it as leftovers!

This recipe came out very mushy. I used the corn tortillas and followed the recipe. Will not make again. Looked nothing like the picture with the recipe.

I had the same results as Jocelyn, but the flavor of mine was great. It came out very mushy and just did not crisp up at all. I used corn tortillas after watching the video.

Don’t think I’ll make it again but it served it purpose of feeding my family and my husband thought it was tasty! :-)

@ Angela…you sure can! That’s how long I would cook it I think. Long enough for the cheesy to melt and everything marry together…

I haven’t tried it that way Jenni, but my guess would be yes. If you try it and it’s not mushy though, let us know girl!

I have wheat tortillas, can I use them or will they turn out mushy and dumpling like with the flour?

I have left over chicken from your crock a chicken recipe (delicious by the way).
Can I use the cooked chicken instead of the raw? Would I cook on low for 4 hrs? Thanks for the help :)

We liked this. It was a nice and easy recipe. Good flavor!

Jocelyn, Thanks for your comment on this recipe. Sorry you were not satisfied with the results. Did you use flour or corn tortillas? I originally used flour and it came out more like a dumpling (refer to video) I prefer using corn but my kiddos loved the flour…go figure. When you prepped the meal the night before, did you include the tortillas?

We had this tonight for dinner………………was very unsatisfied. I prepped it the night before, followed it step by step and put it on low for eight hours. It did not stay in tact at all, it was so mushy. Even though my family ate it, we had to end up eating it almost like a dip. I don’t know what happened :( It also needed a little more flavoring.

Raeann..(love the name!) you can cook on high for 4-5 hours. Just make sure the chicken it done.
Lisa..sorry. I normally make this in the oven and I’m mixing it up with the crock conversion. Might be the pain meds I’m on for a pulled wisdom tooth, too :/ Anyway…in the crock I put the tortillas on the bottom, first.

Can you cook this on medium or high for less time?

Question – what is on the bottom? Mixture or tortillas? Both steps say to put them on the bottom.

Sorry Kristyn..forgot to list it at first :/
And Wanetta…if you take your crock insert out and set a platter on top and then turn your crock over it will just slip out if you’re using a non-stick crock. The GE non-stick from Walmart works really well for this.

I have a question, how do I get my food to pop out of the slow cooker (even if it is sprayed with non-stick) RIGHT SIDE UP and in tact? I am just curious. Mine always dumps out as a hot mess… Yours always looks so pretty! My boys just eat stuff right out of the crock now. I would love to “serve” food again on platters. ha!

See it now! I will be trying this tomorrow! Thank you! You ladies are great!

You do not show Chicken anywhere on the recipe listed. Although I did see it in the video.
