Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cooked chicken breast halves, shredded
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (14 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
½ cup heavy whipping cream
12 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded queso asadero (white Mexican cheese)

Steps:

  • Place shredded chicken in a bowl.

  • Mix enchilada sauce and cream together in a shallow bowl. Dip 1 tortilla in enchilada sauce mixture and place in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat dipping tortillas and arranging in the dish until bottom of dish is covered.
  • Spread 1/2 the chicken mixture over dipped-tortilla layer. Sprinkle 1/3 the queso asadero over chicken layer. Dip more tortillas in enchilada sauce mixture and arrange over queso asadero layer. Spoon 2 to 3 spoonful enchilada sauce mixture over tortilla layer. Repeat layering with remaining chicken, 1/3 queso asadero, ending with a layer of dipped tortillas. Pour any remaining enchilada sauce mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 queso asadero over enchiladas.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted and golden, about 30 minutes.

I'm allergic to cilantro, so I substituted parsley in this recipe. It turned out great!

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for me. I would have preferred a milder sauce.

I love the unique flavor of these enchiladas. The honey-lime sauce is a great twist on the traditional enchilada sauce.

Overall, I thought these enchiladas were pretty good. I would definitely make them again, but I would make a few changes.

The chicken was a little dry. I think I would have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

These enchiladas were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more traditional enchilada sauce.

I'm not usually a fan of enchiladas, but these were really good. The honey-lime sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.

Easy to follow recipe. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the enchiladas were cheesy and gooey. Great for a weeknight meal.
