Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

These are AMAZING!!  My sister gave me this
recipe and it is seriously
one of our favorites now. This is the kind
of recipe that you can take to
people and they will be asking for the
recipe for sure.

6 Tbsp honey

5 Tbsp fresh lime juice (1-2 limes)

1 Tbsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic powder

2-3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts,
cooked and shredded

8 – 10 flour tortillas (depending on size)

1 lb of a Mexican blend cheese
(monterey jack, colby, cheddar), shredded

1 large can of green enchilada sauce

Mix the honey, lime juice, chili powder and
garlic powder together with the
shredded chicken. Allow it to sit for at
least 1/2 hour or you could do it
hours before and just cover and refrigerate.

Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into bottom
of a 9 x 13 pan. Place chicken
and cheese into middle of a tortilla and
spoon about 1 tablespoon of
enchilada sauce over it and roll up.
Place seam down in the pan. Reserve
about 1-2 cups of cheese to sprinkle on
top of enchiladas. Pour enchilada
sauce over the top of rolled enchiladas
(reserve a little bit to add after
they are baked) and sprinkle with remaining
cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes
or until lightly browned and
bubbly.

**This will be really good with black beans and
Lime Cilantro Rice inside of the enchiladas. We
added salsa and sour cream. So good!! **
