Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow, so in honor of this fine holiday I am going to try a new twist on an old favorite:
Slow Cooker Enchiladas
1 lb Ground beef (I am using ground turkey)
1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped green peppers
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can of enchilada sauce
1 1/2 cups grated cheese
6-8 flour tortillas
Cook beef (or ground turkey), onions, garlic and green peppers in a skillet until meat is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain. Add enchilada sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. In a slow cooker, layer about 3/4 cup meat mixture, tortilla, and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat layers. Cover. Cook on low for 5-7 hours or until heated through. Serve with sour cream and guacamole.
I haven't ever made enchiladas this way before, but I am trying to use my crock pot more often, so I thought I would give this a try. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Happy Cinco de Mayo tomorrow!!!
