Chicken Enchiladas

My daughter loves to try new recipes.  And she has come up with some very tasty meals.  Recently we had a Mexican feast.  We all gave it a score of 10!!  If you like Mexican food, give this one a try.

Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas Recipe:

 Ingredients:

Marinade:

6 tablespoons honey

5 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Enchiladas:

1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded (I usually boil 4 chicken breasts and shred them)

8-10 flour tortillas

1 pound Monterrey jack cheese, shredded

16 ounces green enchilada sauce

1 cup heavy cream

Directions:

Whisk the first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken in a Zip-loc bag.  Let it marinate in the fridge for at least a 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 about 1 cup of cheese to sprinkle on top of enchiladas.  Put rolled tortillas in 9x13 pan as you go.  Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the cream and leftover marinade (if there is any).  Pour sauce on top of the enchiladas.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until brown and crispy on top.
