½ medium onion, diced
1 (4-ounce) can green chilies
8 (10-inch) corn or flour tortillas
12 ounces Monterrey Jack cheese, grated
2 green onions, chopped

Spray slow cooker insert with non-stick cooking spray. Add chicken to slow cooker insert and pour2 cups of enchilada sauce over the chicken. Cook on High setting for 4 hours or low setting for 8 hours. Shred chicken with a fork in the enchilada sauce. Drain green chilis and add to the chicken along with the diced onion. Mix well to combine.
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Spoon chicken mixture into the center of each flour tortilla. Top with about ½ cup grated cheese and fold two ends of tortilla over the filled center. Place the tortilla seam side down into the baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas have been filled.

Garnish with green onions or cilantro, if desired.
