Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

I found this recipe on Pinterest and made it tonight for the first time. It was so easy and so delicious! Definitely putting this one in my rotation! The original recipe is HERE. I added cilantro and used only half of a pound of cheddar instead of a pound of monterey jack, only because that is what I had on hand.


Marinade Mixture:

• 6 Tbs honey
• Juice from 2 limes
• 1 Tbs chili powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

• 2 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

Mix marinade in a ziplock bag and add chicken. Let mixture sit in fridge for several hours.


Ingredients:

• Chicken mixture
• 10 whole wheat tortillas
• 1 16 oz can of green enchilada sauce
• 1/2 - 1 lbs cheddar (or monterey jack, or both), shredded
• 1/2 pint heavy cream

Pour half of the can of sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Assemble the enchiladas by putting a couple spoonfuls of mixture in a tortilla with some cheese and roll up. Place in pan and repeat with remaining tortillas. Mix the cream and the remainder of the enchilada sauce together and pour over enchiladas. Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
