Directions

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
In a medium size bowl, mix the marinade sauce: honey, lime juice, chili powder and garlic powder. Save half this marinade sauce for later. Set it aside.
Toss half the marinade with the cooked chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
Spray a 9X13 inch-baking dish with cooking oil. Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce on bottom to coat.
Set aside 1 1/4 cups of the shredded cheese for topping. Lay the flour tortillas out on the counter or a baking sheet. Divide the chicken and shredded cheese evenly over the tortillas.
Roll up each enchilada and place in the baking dish side by side. Mix the remaining marinade with the rest of the green enchilada sauce and cream. Pour over the enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 30 minute. Serve immediately. Pass the sour cream.
Serve with: Chips and Salsa. Food Nanny Lime Rice and black beans
