Have you tried Mission Gluten Free Soft Taco Tortillas? What are you waiting for?! They’re fabulous!
Can you make this with whole wheat tortillas? Will they hold up?
That should definitely work fine.
I’m a taco lover so I can’t wait to try your recipe, thanks for sharing.
Made this recipe this week and my kids gobbled it up, thank you!
That’s awesome! I need to make it again for my kids soon! Thanks for leaving a comment and letting me know!
I found this recipe after looking for easy crock pot recipes with few ingredients and it’s delicious! I had my doubts, but I’m so glad I tried it.
Yay! I’m so glad and thank you so much for taking time to comment!
I hate canned enchilada sauce!!!
You can honestly use any favorite enchilada sauce here. Homemade would work great! I have a recipe here – https://www.kimscravings.com/gluten-free-dairy-free-chicken-black-bean-enchiladas-with-homemade-enchilada-sauce/
how many servings does this recipe make?
It makes 8, 1 cup servings.
Kim, these are my favorite gluten-free tortilla’s! This recipe looks absolutely delicious and so easy!
I love a chance to use my slow cooker! Thanks for the new recipes, I’d love to try these. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
This is so easy and fast to throw together – it would make a great work night meal. Just pop it together in the morning and come home to a delicious meal at the end of the day!
oh this taco bake looks so good! Love to have a plate of that right now actually. I’m thrilled mission has come out with a gluten free tortilla…i know friends will appreciate a gluten free alternative.
This looks so good! I’m glad to see that the gluten free tortillas hold up. When you cook gluten free pasta for a long time, some brands completely disintegrate. Glad it’s not the same with the tortillas!
Yum! This taco bake looks incredible!! I love how versatile slow cookers are, you can make anything in them!
I love tacos but have never even considered using a slow cooker to make them! Need to try this method!
Loves the ingredients and ease. Your pics are making my mouth watering. Looks really amazing.
I wish I had a slow cooker. I like to watch at recipes that involve one to be able to make that step. This one is a great one, sounds so delish.
I need to do more with my slow cooker because it’s really going to help me on busy nights! I think it’s awesome that you’re sharing this really easy recipe! It looks so good too! Who doesn’t want a taco bake! YUM!
Um…I absolutely love any recipe I can make in my crock-pot!! This is so unique as it’s not the typical stew, soup, etc. made in a crock-pot. So simple, yum!
My mouth is watering just by looking at your photos. I am terrible in the kitchen, but I love looking at food. Getting hungry now ha ha…
OK now how simple is this, I am loving that it is only five ingredients as I am not the best cook and need things to be simple!
Oh this looks amazing! We’ll have to give this a try!
Your pics are making it look so irresistible. Loves the ingredients and ease, plus I love avocado.
Yum!! I use the gluten-free tortillas and they taste great. Must try this during the summer so I won’t have to turn on the stove. Shared
Yum! I am all about Mexican food, so I’ll be trying this. I’d just have to leave off the olives. I can’t do olives.
I too would leave off the olives. Also I wish she would show how she sliced the tortillas and built everything in the slow cooker. That would help.
I just simply tore the tortillas and layered, nothing fancy at all. Hope you get a chance to give it a try!
Now is when I wish I could eat a Mexican dish. I mean, these taco tortillas look very delicious and I’m loving how you serve it with avocado slices…that even makes it look more scrumptious!
