Notes: Enchiladas is one of our favourite family meals. You can use any kind of leftover chicken or turkey that you have and any mix of bell peppers that you would prefer. You do not have to add the onions, but we find that they give it a lovely taste and sweeten up as their sautéed.
You can use your homemade salsa or you can buy a large jar of the store or get a canned version from your local farmers market
Sometimes we add some taco seasoning or additional spices or enchilada sauce to the mixture if the chicken is a little on the dry side but you do not have to do this
Layered in the crockpot, it comes out similar to Mexican style lasagna
You can add cilantro or fresh parsley, if you wish cilantro is not for everybody, but it is is a fantastic antioxidant and very healthy for you. If you love, cilantro if you love spicy, add your hot peppers on the top.
If you're a tomato lover put sliced cherry tomatoes or tomatoes on top underneath your cheese
You can serve this with sour cream or a side of ranch dressing or straight up enjoy!
