Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

This recipe is a keeper! Here's another awesome recipe from Mel's Kitchen Cafe! You can find it here. These are different from the traditional enchildadas with meat (chicken or beef) and beans, but they are really good!


Ingredients:
6 tablespoons honey
5 tablespoons lime juice (1 large lime)
1 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded
8-10 flour tortillas
1 pound monterey jack cheese, shredded
16 ounces green enchilada sauce
1 cup sour cream (or heavy cream)

Directions:
Mix the first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken. Let it marinate for at least 1/2 hour. Pour about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan. Fill flour tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese, saving about 1 cup of cheese to sprinkle on top of enchiladas. Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the cream and leftover marinade. Pour sauce on top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until brown and crispy on top.


We used lime juice in a bottle, not from an actual lime. We also used a mixture of cheddar and monterey jack cheese, since that's the cheese we get all the time. It was delicious!
