Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas
Friday, May 01, 2009
Me gusta esta receta!!! I first saw this recipe on this blog, and had to try it out. I've never really made enchiladas before, even though I love Mexican food. It is a tad spicy, but the sweet honey marinade really balances it out. Mix these ingredients together in a ziplock bag:
4 T honey
Juice of 2 limes
1 T chili powder
1/2 t. garlic powder
Add:
1 pound cooked and shredded chicken (I used a Costco rotisserie)
Allow the marinade to flavor the chicken for a couple of hours in the fridge. I did it the day before.
You also need:
8 medium sized tortillas
2-3 cups of shredded co-jack cheese
12 oz green enchilada sauce
1/2 cup half and half
Mix the green sauce and half and half in a separate bowl.
Assemble the enchiladas:
Lay out all 8 tortillas. Divide your marinated chicken evenly down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle a little bit of green sauce mixture over the chicken. Sprinkle a little cheese over the chicken and green sauce. Spread a little green sauce mixture on the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish. Roll up each tortilla and place them into the dish nice and cozy, seam side down. Pour remaining green sauce mixture on top, spread it around, and cover with remaining cheese. Feel free to put as much cheese as you like on top!
Bake covered at 350 for 20 minutes, and then uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes. I like to serve it with avocado, sour cream, and spanish rice. Cha cha cha!!!
Looks amazing!!
