  • Divide the chicken mixture into three equal portions.
  • Spread one portion evenly across the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the shredded Mexican blend cheese over the chicken.
  • Tear three of the 6-inch tortillas into pieces and arrange them in a single overlapping layer over the cheese so the bottom is covered.
  • Spread the second portion of the chicken mixture evenly over the tortilla layer. Sprinkle another 1/3 cup shredded cheese on top, then tear and arrange the remaining three tortillas into a single layer over that cheese.
  • Spread the final portion of the chicken mixture evenly over the top tortilla layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup shredded cheese over the top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
