Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

Recipe found here

Ingredients:
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup lime juice
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 minced cloves garlic
1.5-ish pounds chicken breast, cooked and shredded or cubed
12-14 small flour tortillas
3 cups Mexican blend cheese
1-14 oz. can green enchilada sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup chopped cilantro

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Combine chicken, chili powder, honey, minced garlic, and lime juice. Stir together and set aside. (I usually just cube and cook the chicken in a frying pan, and then add the remainder of the ingredients once it's done cooking.)
3. Separately, combine the enchilada sauce and cream. Spread 1/2 cup sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
4. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of a tortilla, and top with cheese and a little cilantro. Roll the tortilla up and place seam-side down in the pan. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas until you have used up the chicken.
5. Pour the remainder of the sauce over the enchiladas, and top with remaining cheese.
6. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes (until cheese is melted and starting to brown). Garnish with cilantro and salsa if you would like.
