Honey-Lime Chicken Enchiladas

From Six Sisters' Stuff, original recipe from Dinner on a Dime

You will want to eat these all the time. An EXCELLENT enchilada dish. The marinade, while so simple, is super delicious.

Ingredients:
Marinade:
~6 tbs. honey
~5 tbs. fresh lime juice (1 large lime)
~1 tbs. chili powder
~1/2 tsp. garlic powder

~1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded (I used ground chicken b/c I had it on hand)
~8 tortillas
~1 pound Monterey Jack Cheese, shredded
~16oz. green enchilada sauce 
~1 cup heavy cream

1. Whisk the first four ingredients and toss in a ziploc bag with the chicken. Let it marinade at least half a day (I cooked the chicken the night before and let it marinade overnight).
2. Pour 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
3. Fill tortillas with chicken and cheese. Save the marinade!
4. Mix remaining enchilada sauce with cream and leftover marinade.
5. Cover the top in cheese.
6. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until brown and crispy on top.
