Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours, or until chicken shreds easily with a fork.
Shred the chicken, then turn off the crockpot and return the shredded chicken to the sauce in crockpot. Loosely cover and let cool slightly.
Make the Filling
In a large bowl, combine cooled chicken plus any remaining crockpot sauce, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, black olives and corn.

Add just over ½ cup of filling to the center of a tortilla. Roll tightly and place in the baking dish. Repeat with 7 remaining tortillas and the rest of the filling, arranging them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over rolled tortillas and spread evenly.
Sprinkle remaining 1 ½ cups cheese evenly over tortillas.
Bake, Cool & Serve
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
Let cool slightly then serve warm with your favorite toppings (salsa, guacamole, sour cream, etc.)
