Layer the Ingredients: In your slow cooker, add chicken, enchilada sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, green chiles, and taco seasoning. Stir gently to combine.
Cook the Chicken: Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Shred and Mix: Shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir in beans, corn, and tortilla wedges.
Add Cheese: Mix in half the cheese, then sprinkle the rest on top.

Notes

For faster prep, use rotisserie chicken and reduce cook time by half.

Spray your crockpot before adding ingredients to make cleanup easy.

Add cream cheese during the last 20 minutes for a creamier version.

Adjust spice level with mild or hot enchilada sauce and extra chiles.

Perfect for meal prep — refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
