Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Optionally spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom.
  2. Pour the enchilada sauce over the chicken, followed by tomatoes, green chiles, and taco seasoning. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.

  4. Shred the chicken in the slow cooker using forks, then return to the sauce.
  5. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, black beans and corn. Stir until cheese begins to melt.
  6. Layer the gluten-free tortillas on top, stir gently, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
