Easy Crock Pot Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (The heart of enchiladas, tender and juicy.)
• 1 can (15 oz) enchilada sauce (Packed with zesty flavors; opt for mild or spicy based on your preference.)
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed (Adds protein and a delightful earthy flavor.)
• 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen) (Sweet and crunchy, it brightens up the dish.)
• 1 cup diced onions (Provide depth and sweetness; feel free to use red or yellow onions.)
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack) (Use a dairy-free cheese for a vegan twist.)
• 8-10 pieces corn tortillas (The classic vessel for all those hearty fillings.)
• Chopped cilantro (For garnish.)
• Diced avocados (For a fresh topping.)
• Sour cream or Greek yogurt (For a lighter option.)
