Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

This is YUMMY! I got it from Cole - it's one of his friend's secret family recipes!

6 TBS honey
5 TBS lime juice (1 large lime)
1 TBS chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 lb chicken, cooked and shredded
8-10 flour tortillas
1 lb monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 lb Hatch's green enchilada sauce
1/2 cup Heavy cream

Mix the first 4 ingredients and toss with shredded chicken. Let it marinate for at least 1/2 hour. Pour about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan. Fill flour tortillas with the chicken and cheese, saving about 1 cup of cheese to sprinkle on top of the enchiladas. Mix the remaining enchilada sauce with the cream and leftover marinade. Pour sauce on top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until brown and crispy on top. Enjoy!

P. S. If you don't have time to cook them in the oven, just whip up the chicken marinade and fill your tortillas then top with the enchilada sauce and cream mixture and cheese - It's still pretty great!
