Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

One of my favorite combinations is spicy/sweet. This was the perfect balance of that! So good! And a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken, if you have have some. We scarfed these down! A splash of hot sauce on top was the perfect touch!

Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

1/3C honey
1/4C lime juice
1T chili powder
2 large garlic cloves - minced
3 chicken breast - cooked & shredded
12 small flour tortillas
2C shredded colby jack cheese
1 (14oz) can green enchilada sauce
1C heavy cream

Preheat the oven to 350*. In a large bowl combine the honey, lime juice, chili powder and garlic. Stir in the chicken. In a small bowl combine the enchilada sauce and heavy cream. Ladle a small amount of the sauce mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish. Evenly distribute the chicken onto the tortillas. Sprinkle 1C of cheese evenly over top. Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce mixture over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes - or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.
