Honey Lime Ckn Enchiladas

Tammy found this recipe for me on one of her blogs, we tried it, and loved it!! If you like enchiladas, you NEED to try these!! I usually double the recipe to make a couple of pan fulls. Delicious both when you first make them and if you freeze them then cook them!

Honey Lime Enchiladas
1.5 pounds pork or chicken, cooked and shredded

Sauce:
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup lime juice
1 TBS chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder


Topping:
2 (10 oz) cans green enchilada sauce
equal parts mixed together of: Shredded Mozzarella cheese and Shredded Cheddar cheese
flour tortillas


Cook and shred chicken or pork ( I cook mine in the crock pot so it's nice and tender)


Mix together sauce ingredients, then add to shredded pork or chicken. Let the sauce soak into the meat for about 30 minutes.
Lightly spray 2 pans with non stick baking spray. ( I usually use one 9X13 and one 9X9, but may vary by how thick you stuff your enchiladas) Pour green enchilada sauce into pans to coat the entire bottom. Fill tortillas with shredded meat and desired amount of cheese. Roll and place in dish.
Pour remainder of enchilada sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle more cheese on top- don't be stingy. (Then cover and Freeze.)


Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes. Then turn on broiler and place enchiladas near the top of oven. Let it broil until cheese is slightly brown and crispy.
