Do you love enchiladas but don’t enjoy the texture of slow cooked tortillas? These Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Rollups give you the delicious flavor you love in rolled up in a fresh tortilla.

I have loved our homemade crock pot chicken enchiladas for years. It is in regular rotation at this house as long as I can remember. But, the number one thing I get asked about that recipe is about the texture of the slow cooked tortillas. I love the softening of the tortillas, however, some folks prefer the tortillas to maintain their original texture. So when I saw a recipe in Crock-Pot 365 Year Round Recipes that serves up a delicious chicken enchilada in a fresh tortilla rollup, I knew that some of my readers would really enjoy this option! So we went in the kitchen, tested out a few things and altered the recipe just a bit to make it perfect for our tastes.

How to Make Chicken Enchilada Rollups in a Crock Pot

- If using a skillet, remove chicken and add broth to the skillet and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to get any brown bits. (If using a browning slow cooker, just switch to slow cooking and add the broth to the slow cooker.)
- Add chilies and oregano evenly over the top.
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the tenders are done.
- Next, blend remaining 1/4 cup flour with milk to make a slurry and then stir into chicken mixture.

Notes for Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Rollups
- This recipe is altered from Crock-Pot 365 Year Round Recipes .
- We loved cooking this up in our Crock Pot Multi-Cooker so we could do the browning step in the slow cooker, however, any 6 quart slow cooker should work.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
