Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by dicing the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and drain the beans of your choice, and chop any optional vegetables, like bell peppers or zucchini. Set everything aside in separate bowls.
- In the bottom of your slow cooker, lay down a layer of tortillas, overlapping them slightly. Follow with half of the chopped chicken, then drizzle half the enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese, and then add the beans, followed by any vegetables. Repeat this layering process with the remaining ingredients.
- Cover your slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for about 5 hours. Check the chicken for doneness; it should be fully cooked when measured with a meat thermometer, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
- For an optional finishing touch, preheat an air fryer to 400°F and transfer the casserole to the air fryer basket. Crisp the top for about 5-10 minutes.
- Once ready to serve, scoop portions onto plates. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes
Consider making your own enchilada sauce for added flavor. Serve it with a sprinkle of fresh cheese when reheating leftovers.
