A friend brought a version of this recipe over to me after I had my baby...it was wonderful! I have made some changes to it and now it is one of our favorite dinners. These enchiladas are so easy as well... even better!
Honey-Lime Chicken Enchiladas
submitted by Brittany
6 Tb honey
4.5 Tb lime juice
1 Tb chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
flour tortillas
colby or monterey jack cheese, shredded
10 oz. can green enchilada sauce
Mix first 4 ingredients together and toss with shredded chicken. Let it "marinate" for at least a half hour. Pour some green enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 10x10 casserole dish or 9x13 pan. Fill flour tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese. Pour the rest of the can of green enchilada sauce over enchiladas then sprinkle with more cheese. (When using a 9x13 I like to use 1 1/2 10 oz. cans) Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. (Put it under the broiler at the end to make the cheese brown and crispy on the top.)
These are the ones you brought us whenI had Cannon! We LOVED them! I am so happy to have the recipe now! Thanks Britt!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of the sisters of THE SISTER'S CAFE! Wow! Can I take any credit here? Actually, probably not . . . I think you are all "throw-backs" to your Grandma Rice who is such a great cook! I don't know where Amy gets her talent but she's great too. This one looks fabulous. Love, MOM
ReplyDeleteOkay, Britt's made these for Matt and I too and they were delish! I'm so glad to have this recipe!
ReplyDeleteI made it, I ate it, and I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI first saw this recipe on My Kitchen Cafe, and I have to tell you, I can't even count how many times I've made it since then. Thank you so much for giving me one more meal that made it into my rotation. I love it!
ReplyDeletethanks for this recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi gals! I just wanted to give you a heads up that I am linking to you a bit later today to give some credit where credit is due. I originally saw a recipe for these over at Mel's blog and loved these. We have changed and adapted the recipe a bit, but yesterday I got to make my version on TV for folks and people are going nuts over them! So, for whoever that friend was that brought a version of these to you, please give them a hug from me. There will be a giveaway I'm posting with it later and I would love it if you would stop by!
ReplyDeleteVery good! So far, I've liked every one of the recipes I've tried. What a great site!
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine made these for a dinner party and they were so good I asked her for the recipe. She sent me here. They are in the oven right now! I'm so excited.
ReplyDeleteI actually came upon your site once before, and thought it was really good.
I would like to "follow" blogger style but don't see that option. Have you though of starting that widget here?
Thanks for the idea. I just added the widget! I am glad you like these enchiladas! They are so good, I agree! My sister brought them over to me when I had my last baby. What a treat!
ReplyDeleteI made this today, and it is delicious. My corn tortillas kept splitting, so I ended up layering the ingredients like an enchilada lasagna instead of enchiladas. I added a can of green chilies and also cheese into the filling. Paired it with homemade refried beans. Happy Mother's Day! I don't even mind having to make it myself, since it's so good. Thank you for the terrific recipe!
ReplyDeleteBrittany these are so yummy! Thanks for all the good recipes!!
ReplyDeleteI have made these so many times ever since this recipe was posted --- and I am about to make them again for a big group this week! Thanks so much for a fabulous go-to delicious recipe!

ReplyDeleteI love these enchiladas. We add black beans to each enchilada before baking, and serve with chopped lettuce, avocado, sour cream, and an olive on top.
