Instructions

Add chicken breasts to the Crock Pot and season with salt. Pour over you Homemade (or favorite) Enchilada Sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hrs or high for 3-4 hrs.
Once done, shred chicken and mix well with sauce in Crock Pot. Sprinkle in 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/2 the olives and mix. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and olives. Turn Crock Pot to low, cover, and cook for another 10-20 minutes or until the cheese is all melted. Top with fresh cilantro.
Heat a skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to pan.
Hold tortilla in your hand and use tongs to add cheesy enchilada chicken with olives into the taco. Gently place in the hot pan and fold in half. Add two to three to the pan, dependent upon the size of your pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes and then flip and fry another 2-3 minutes until both sides of the taco are golden and crispy.
Serve with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, or any of your other favorite taco toppings!
