Step-by-Step Instructions

Gather ingredients: chop any optional vegetables and season frozen chicken breasts with salt and smoked paprika.
Start layering in the slow cooker: begin with a layer of tortillas, then add half of the seasoned chicken, beans, enchilada sauce, and cheese. Repeat layers finishing with tortillas and cheese on top.
Cover and cook on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours, until cheese is bubbly and chicken reaches 165°F.
For a crispy top, transfer to an air fryer set to 375°F for 5-7 minutes.
Scoop out portions and serve warm, garnishing with fresh cilantro and sour cream.
