Honey Lime Enchiladas are a simple chicken enchilada recipe seasoned with lime, honey, chili powder, smothered in green chile enchilada sauce and cheese.
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch baking pan by spraying with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, honey, garlic powder, chili powder and lime juice. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use, or start assembling enchiladas.
To assemble enchiladas place about 1/2 cup of shredded chicken mixture in center of tortilla. Top with cheese and tightly roll, leaving ends open. Repeat with all tortillas.
Pour 1 cup of the green chile enchilada sauce into the bottom of baking dish. Place rolled enchiladas close together across the bottom of the pan.
Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with 1/2 cup of sour cream and pour over the top of the rolled enchiladas. Spread the sauce around so it covers the top of the enchiladas. Top with remaining cheese.
Take a piece of foil and spray the shiny side with cooking spray. Cover the enchiladas, shiny side down so the cheese won't stick to the foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Remove the foil and allow to cook an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese has turned golden brown in spots on the top.
Remove from the oven and let sit a few minutes before serving.
Notes
If you want a spicier version, make sure to purchase the HOT green chile enchilada sauce.
The chicken can be made ahead and mixed with the seasoning. Allowing it to marinade for at least 30 minutes will help infuse more flavor into the chicken.
