Honey Lime Enchiladas

Oh My Flippin' Delicious! Making these for Mom on Sunday.



Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas
(from my neighbor Sarah Bevan)

Chicken marinated in lime, honey, and cumin, smothered in gooey cheese, tortillas and tasty sauce.....need I say more?

3/4 cup honey

Lime juice (1-2 limes)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded (I used 3 chicken breasts)

8-10 flour tortillas

1 pound monterey jack cheese, shredded

16 ounces green enchilada sauce

1 cup heavy cream.



  1. Mix the first five ingredients and toss with shredded chicken. Let it marinate for at least 1/2 hour (I tossed mine together in a ziploc bag in the morning and let it sit in the refrigerator all day).


  2. Pour about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan.


  3. Fill flour tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese, saving about 1 cup of cheese to sprinkle on top of enchiladas.


  4. Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the cream and leftover marinade. Pour sauce on top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese.


  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until brown and crispy on top.
