Laura, you could try it and see. What would be best is if you had a slow cooker with a timer. That way after 6 hours it could automatically switch to warm. I would suggest putting a towel on top of your slow cooker and then place the lid on top. That way the condensation won't drip so much on top of the tortillas and cheese! Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

My slow cooker is a bit larger (7 Qt) and it came with a roasting rack kind of thing in the bottom of it. I put the rack in the bottom and built the foil sling over the top of it, so if pulling it out by the sling doesn't work, then I'll have the rack as backup!
I was wondering though. Is the foil used strictly for removal, or do we need it for the baking too? I hate using up that much foil for one dish. If It is only a removal tool, I might try it next time without.

I wonder if you use the slow cooker bags, then take the bag out and cut away it would be easier to remove.
