Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas!

These are seriously yummy! And if you are always looking for something different to whip up for dinner, this is a fresh new take on traditional enchiladas!



Recipe:
Marinade:
6 tablespoons honey
5 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Enchiladas:
1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded
8-10 flour tortillas
1 pound monterrey jack cheese, shredded
16 ounces green chile enchilada sauce
1 cup heavy cream

Directions:
Whisk the first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken in a ziplock bag. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1/2 hour, but preferably a half day or so. Pour about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9X13 baking pan. Fill the tortillas with chicken (saving marinade) and shredded cheese (saving 1 cup to sprinkle on top). Put rolled tortillas in 9X13 pan as you go. Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the cream and leftover marinade. Pour sauce on top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until brown and crispy on top.
