Sweet Lime Enchiladas
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound shredded, cooked chicken
  • 2 cups green enchilada sauce, divided
  • 6 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
  • 10 (8 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup fat free half-and-half
Instructions
1
Combine honey, chili powder, lime juice, and minced garlic in a large glass or ceramic container. Mix until smooth. Add shredded cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly. Cover the container with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Reserve the used marinade.
2
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the bottom.
3
Combine marinated shredded chicken with 5 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl. Mix gently. Spoon about 3/4 cup of chicken-cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining enchilada sauce, fat-free half-and-half, and the saved marinade. Pour sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle top with 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
5
Bake in a preheated oven until the cheese has melted and the top is golden brown, approximately 30 minutes.
