Honey Lime Enchiladas

Ok. These are...
1-quick to make
2- super yummy
3- and our kids even like them.

WOW! Those are the top three things I always ask before trying to decide what to make for dinner. If any of you have recipes that meet these 3 criteria, PLEASE! Send them my way! Pick up a Costco Rotesserie Chicken (or even better the package of shredded Rotesserie Chicken they now carry!) and you can throw this dish together in seriously 10-15 minutes from start to finish... not counting the cooking time of course! There are a few different variations I know but here's the one we use! (It's from a site with great recipes that my sister in law Meghan told me about- http://sisterscafe.blogspot.com Thanks Meg!)

Honey Lime Enchiladas
submitted by Brittany

1.5 lbs pork or chicken, cooked and shredded
Sauce:
1/3 c honey
1/4 c lime juice
1 Tb chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 (10 oz) cans green enchilada sauce
equal parts mixed together of:
mozzarella cheese, shredded
cheddar cheese, shredded
flour tortillas

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 it may vary with 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 sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle more cheese on top - don't be stingy! (I sometimes use more like 1 1/2 cans- you can freeze left over enchilada sauce in a baggy.) Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Then turn on broiler and place enchiladas nearer the top of oven. Let it broil until cheese is slightly brown and crispy. Serve with any of the following: salsa, guacamole, rice, beans, sour cream... a salad or green beans!
