    Cook the chicken: either 1) cook in slow cooker with 1 jar of salsa for 4 hours on high, or 2) Grill the chicken or bake in oven (cover the breasts in fajita seasoning first for extra flavor). Either way, then shred with a fork.

    Divide the mix into the 6 tortillas and fold them up into a big casserole dish.
  5. 5
    Use the remaining enchilada sauce to cover the enchiladas, sprinkle them with cheese.
  6. 6
    Bake 12-18 minutes until the cheese is melted and the top looks crispy (the corners will look toasted brown).
  7. 7
    Serve ASAP because the middle gets cold fast ;) top with the lettuce, sour cream and tomato.
