Slow Cooker Lazy Enchiladas

Recipe by David Banks on InstagramAdded 11 November 2026.

15 minutes to prep, 3 hours 30 minutes to cook. These lazy enchiladas are a hands‑off slow‑cooker meal perfect for meal‑prep. Tender chicken, black beans, and a zesty enchilada sauce combine under melted mozzarella for a satisfying, low‑calorie dinner.

Free. No account needed.

Method

  1. Set the slow cooker to HIGH. Add chicken breast, enchilada sauce, black beans, chopped tomatoes, fajita seasoning, spring onions, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well and cook on HIGH for 3 hours.

  2. After 3 hours, stir the mixture, add the sweetcorn, place the tortilla wraps on top of the sauce, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the wraps. Continue cooking on HIGH for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

  3. Alternatively, set the slow cooker to LOW. Add all ingredients except the tortilla wraps, sweetcorn, and mozzarella cheese. Stir well and cook on LOW for 5 to 5.5 hours.

  4. When the low‑heat cooking is done, stir the mixture, add the sweetcorn, arrange the tortilla wraps on top, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over them. Cook on LOW for another 10 minutes, until the cheese melts.

Tips while you cook

Stir before adding tortillas
After the initial cooking period, stir the mixture before placing the tortilla wraps on top.
Add cheese at the end
Sprinkle mozzarella over the tortillas only during the final 10‑minute cooking stage.
Season early
Combine fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper with the other ingredients at the start of cooking.
Low‑heat finish step
When using the LOW setting, add sweetcorn, tortillas and cheese after the long cook, then cook 10 more minutes.
