Honey-Lime Enchiladas

Directions

Ingredients :

⅓ cup honey

1 tablespoon chili powder

⅓ 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

Methods :

Whisk together the honey, chili powder, lime juice, and minced garlic in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the shredded cooked chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least a half hour. Remove the shredded chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Save the used marinade.

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish, and spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the bottom.

Combine marinated shredded chicken with 5 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl. Mix lightly. Spoon about 3/4 cup of the chicken-cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll tortillas and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

In a bowl, whisk together remaining enchilada sauce, fat-free half-and-half, and remaining marinade. Pour sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle top with 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Bake in preheated oven until the cheese has melted and the top is brown, about 30 minutes.
