Directions

1. 2 Chicken Breasts – crock pot with water to cover it for 5-6 hours on low heat

3. Heat whole wheat tortillas in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of canola oil or less, just until softened.
4. Fill tortillas with chicken and line up in a 9×13 baking pan
5. Cover with homemade enchilada sauce and cover with fresh chives, cheese, and dollops of creme fraiche sauce

Creme Fraiche topping — *tried and tested tip*this combination goes wonderfully on pulled pork tacos with green apple slaw, or fish tacos too!
