These are the BEST enchiladas I have ever had!  I have always gotten rave reviews on these and are such a perfect meal to bring to someone that has just  had a baby or in need of meals.  I love how cheap, easy, and most important SOO delicious they are!  Try them out they are fool proof!  The chili is what takes them over the top and give it such a unique flavor with the sweetness from the honey.  I found these recipe from Dinner on a Dime.



Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas


3 Tablespoons honey
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded
10 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
16 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
2 cans (10 oz each) green enchilada sauce
1/4 cup heavy cream


Directions:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the honey, lime juice, chili powder and garlic powder together and then mix with the shredded chicken. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

Spray a 9x13 pan and a 8x8 pan with cooking spray. Pour a little bit of the green enchilada sauce on the bottom of each pan. Take one tortilla and fill with chicken and a few tablespoons of cheese. (Make sure to save atleast 1-1/2 cups cheese to sprinkle over top of enchiladas)  Roll up tortillas and place in prepared pans. Repeat with all tortillas, chicken and cheese.

Mix together the remaining enchilada sauce and cream. Pour sauce over the tops of enchiladas (depending on how saucey you like your enchiladas, you may not need to use all of the sauce. Eyeball it)  Sprinkle the reserved cheese evenly over the tops.

Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole or any toppings you love. Enjoy!
