Author Scarlett Bendixen

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 chicken breasts large, cooked and shredded
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 28 oz can green enchilada sauce
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Combine honey, lime juice, chili powder and garlic in a large sealed container. Add cooked and shredded chicken and coat thoroughly. Place in refrigerator for at least a few hours.

    Mix enchilada sauce and cream in a bowl. Pour about 1/2 cup into the bottom of baking dish. Can use more then 1/2 of cup to cover the whole bottom of the pan evenly. (Use a 9×13 or (2) 9×9 pans)

    Prepare tortillas by heating on stove in oil for about 20 seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with a couple tablespoons of chicken, some cheese, and a tablespoon of sauce. Roll up and place in baking dish, seam side down. Do this until chicken is gone and the pans are full. Cover entirely with enchilada/cream mixture and sprinkle with remaining cheese. (You will most likely have some sauce left over)

    Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes
