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:

  • 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.

These enchiladas are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have leftover chicken after I make a roast chicken, and these enchiladas are a delicious way to use it up.

I'm always looking for new and exciting enchilada recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. The honey-lime sauce is a great twist on the traditional red or green sauce. I will definitely be making these again.

These enchiladas are a great make-ahead meal. I made them ahead of time and then froze them. When I was ready to serve them, I just thawed them out and baked them. They were just as good as when I first made them.
