  • ½ cup of red enchilada sauce
  • ½ cup of green enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup of Greek yogurt

After the 3 hours on low

  • 1 ½ cup shredded cheese of choice more if you like!
  • 8 6 inch corn tortillas cut into strips

Instructions

  • On a plate place your chicken breasts and season them generously on both sides with the taco seasoning.
  • In a large bowl add in ½ cup red enchilada sauce, ½ cup green enchilada sauce and 1 cup Greek yogurt. Whisk until fully combined. Then add ½ cup of mixture to the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Place your seasoned chicken breasts on top, then more of the remaining sauce over them, fully covering them. Spread it with a spatula if need be.
  • Then turn on low for 3 hours. After 3 hours, shred in the Crock Pot with 2 forks, mixing until fully combined.
  • Then add half of your corn tortilla strips you cut and ½ cup of shredded cheese and mix in with a spoon. Then on top layer the last of your tortilla strips, then sprinkle over the refried beans and then the shredded cheese. Lastly top with sliced black olives. DO NOT MIX.
  • Place on low for 30 minutes until melted and bubbly.
  • Then sprinkle with fresh cilantro, sliced tomatoes, avocado– you name it! And enjoy!
