Tips: To crisp the tortillas, coat both sides with cooking spray and bake in a 375 degrees F oven for 10 minutes, turning once, until crisped and lightly brown.
For easy cleanup, line your slow cooker with a disposable slow cooker liner. Add ingredients as directed in recipe. Once your dish is finished cooking, spoon the food out of your slow cooker and simply dispose of the liner. Do not lift or transport the disposable liner with food inside.
