Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas (Adapted from The Girl Who Ate Everything)

I saw this recipe on Pinterest awhile ago, but never got around to making it. When I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find green enchilada sauce so I substituted regular enchilada sauce. And the original recipe called for too much cheese for our liking. Here is the recipe I made, it was delicious! Ingredients 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup lime juice 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1 lb. chicken (cooked and shredded) 8 soft taco tortillas 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded 2 cups enchilada sauce 1/2 cup heavy cream Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Mix the honey, lime juice, chili powder and garlic powder in a Ziploc bag. 3. Add the shredded chicken. 4. Marinate for at least 1/2 hour. (I marinated the chicken while I was at work) 5. Spray a large pan with cooking spray. 6. Cover the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of enchilada sauce. 7. Fill each tortilla with shredded chicken...
