Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas


Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas
Six Sisters Blog
Yield: one 9x13 pan



6 TB honey
5 TB lime juice
1 TB chili powder
½ tsp. garlic powder
1 lb. chicken, cooked and shredded (4 chicken breasts)
8-10 flour tortillas
1 lb. Monterrey jack cheese, shredded
16 oz. green enchilada sauce
1 c. heavy cream

Whisk the first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken.  Marinate in fridge for at least a ½ hour, but preferably a half day or so.  Pour ½ c. enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan.  Fill tortillas with chicken (saving marinade) and shredded cheese, saving about 1 c. of cheese to sprinkle on top.  Put rolled tortillas in 9x13 pan as you go.  Mix remaining enchilada sauce with the cream and leftover marinade (if there is any, sometimes I make ½ recipe of marinade to mix in here).  Pour sauce on top of the enchiladas.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 mins. until brown and crispy on top.
