1

Add the chicken, ranch dressing mix, pepperoncini, pepper juice, butter, and water to a slow cooker in that order. Cook on High for 2 hours or on Low for 3 1/2 hours, until the chicken shreds easily with a fork.
2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (1 degrees C). Remove and discard half of the liquid from the slow cooker. Shred the chicken in the remaining liquid, then stir in the cream cheese and sour cream.
3

Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese into each tortilla and roll to seal. Arrange the tortillas seam side down in a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and pour the heavy cream evenly over the top.
4

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are browned and the sauce is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Top with green onions and pico de gallo.
