As for the bean mixture, I added about 2c. homemade salsa (1 lg. can petite diced tomatoes, red pepper, corn, garbanzo beans, chickpeas, black beans, tomatoes, green chiles, italian dressing, jalepenos, sweet and green onion, garlic, fresh squeezed lime juice, 1c. store bought salsa) 2 sm. cans red enchilada sauce, 1sm. can green chiles, 1\/3 c. water, 1\/2 t. cumin, 1\/2 t. curry powder, 1\/2 t. salt, and 1\/2 t. black pepper. I used a plethora of shredded mild cheddar and swiss (not so healthy ;)) and layered according to the directions (meat\/sauce mix, tortilla, cheese...as much as u can fit in the casserole. I wish i could make this stuff in a well.). I covered the masterpiece with foil and baked for 30-45 min. @ 375, then uncovered and baked another 5-8 min.

Can you use corn tortillas for slow-cooker enchiladas?<\/h3>
Like most enchilada recipes<\/a>, you can use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas to make this dish.

Can you use enchilada sauce in this slow-cooker recipe?<\/h3>
A 15-ounce can of red enchilada sauce or 1-3\/4 cups homemade enchilada sauce<\/a> can be used in this recipe in place of the combination of diced tomatoes and green chiles, water, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Feel free to tweak our Mexican-inspired slow-cooker recipes<\/a> with more or less of your favorite spices, too. <\/div>

What do you serve with slow-cooker enchiladas?<\/h3>
Serve slow-cooker enchiladas with toppings like sour cream, chopped tomatoes, avocados, cilantro, green onion or sliced olives. Add a side of refried beans<\/a> or rice<\/a> for a complete meal.<\/div>
