What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 (19-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
- 2 chicken bouillon cubes
- Zest of 1/2 a lime
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 (15-ounce) can refried beans, warmed
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
What to Do
- In a slow cooker, combine chicken, enchilada sauce, bouillon cubes, lime zest, and cumin; cook on low about 4 hours or until tender. Remove to a cutting board and shred with forks. Stir chicken back into the sauce.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Place beans in the middle of a tortilla, then add about 1/3-cup chicken mixture. Fold edge of the tortilla that's closest to you over the filling, then fold in each side and roll tightly, ending with the seam side down. Place into casserole dish. Repeat process until you've filled all the tortillas.
- Pour the remaining sauce and chicken mixture over the enchiladas. Top with cheese and bake 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and heated through.

I made them and they're delicious. Just want to say that these are not enchiladas, in mexico are called "wet burritos". Authentic mexican enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. This wet burritos are awesome. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

This was very yummy! I made these tonight and it was a hit even with a picky eater. Will definitely make again. I served them with brown rice and corn. And I used whole wheat tortillas! Didn't taste too salty to me and I actually seasoned the chicken with salt... Oh and I never had an enchilada before today! Can't wait to make them again!

When I made this the basic flavor was good, but I made a few changes. Added the beans to the chicken mixture. Eliminated the chicken bouillion cubes as they made it quite salty. You can always add salt after cooking if needed.

Just thought you may want to know that you can buy sodium free bouillon. Wyler's makes one as does Herb Ox. I'm sure there are more out there too.

I always look for nutrition information for recipes too. Anytime I can't find nutrition info I use caloriecount.about.com this site has a recipe analyzer that allows you to enter the recipe and the number of servings, click analyze and it breaks your recipe down into calories, protein , sodium etc. Hope that helps!

Add 1 finely sliced small onion in step 1. Add a little tapatio sauce for more of a zing. This recipe would work fine as a burrito just go with a larger size tortilla and strain some of the sauce out for the inside. If you like a wet burrito, then spoon sauce over the top, sprinkle on some cheese. When the cheese is melted, remove to a plate and serve with a side of mexican rice and dollops of sour cream and Guacamole on top of the burrito, sprinkle with slice black olives and garnish with sprigs of cilantro. YUM!
