Slow Cooker Lazy Enchiladas (with Tiktok)
Description
This recipe places frozen chicken taquitos in a slow cooker, covers them with red enchilada sauce, and sprinkles shredded Colby jack cheese on top. Cooking on low for three hours heats the taquitos through and softens them slightly. Adding additional cheese and cooking five more minutes melts the cheese over the top, creating a gooey, saucy layer that ties the dish together.
The result is an easy alternative to traditional enchiladas, preserving the flavor of the taquitos but serving in a layered, less fussy format. Variations mentioned include substituting steak or cheese taquitos and using green enchilada sauce instead of red. The dish is served warm and works well with typical enchilada toppings.
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days, making this convenient for meal prep or casual entertaining.
Ingredients
- 26 Frozen Chicken Taquitos
- 1 can Red Enchilada Sauce 19 oz

Instructions
- Place the taquitos in the bottom of a 6 quart crock pot. Pour the enchilada sauce on top and sprinkle ¼ cup of the shredded cheese on top of the sauce.

Notes
- Steak or cheese taquitos can be used as alternatives to chicken taquitos in this recipe.
