Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 jalapeno chile peppers -- halved
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 large onion -- diced
3 garlic cloves -- minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
3/4 cup chicken stock -- or spicy smoked turkey stock
1 tablespoon lime juice
4 cups shredded cooked chicken -- or turkey

Place the jalapenos cut-side down on a broiler pan. Broil on low for 2 minutes or until they start to brown. Allow to cool, and then dice.

In a nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the onions, garlic, and jalapenos, and saute until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.

Add the onion mixture to a 4-quart slow cooker. Add the remaining spices, crushed tomatoes, stock and lime juice. Cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, then add the shredded meat. Turn up to high and cook for an additional hour.

Serves 8

AuthorNote: this recipe is an excellent way to use up leftover chicken or turkey, and it makes enough filling for two 9x13-inch pans (8 enchiladas per dish) of enchiladas. Make one pan and freeze the other for another time.

Don't Overkill: leave at least an inch of headroom in the slow cooker. The lid needs to fit tightly for the slow cooker to cook properly; otherwise the liquid ingredients may boil over, leaving you with a potentially dangerous situation and quite a mess.
