Honey Lime Chicken Enchilidas

6 tbsp honey
5 tbsp lime juice or 1 large lime
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
8-10 flour tortillas
2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded
16 oz green enchilada sauce
1 cup sour cream (recipe calls for heavy cream but sour cream lightens the calories)

Mix the first four ingredients and toss with shredded chicken. Let marinate for at least 1/2 in ziploc bag. Pour 1/2 cup enchilidas sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Fill flour tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese, saving about 1 cup of chesse for the top of enchilidas. Mix the remaining enchilida sauce with the sour cream and leftover marinade. Pour sauce on top of the enchilidas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 min until brown and crispy on top.

*This dish is healthy, but to reduce calorie intake even more use fat free sour cream and don't fill the shells with cheese, just sprinkle some on top. This chicken is so good you can also use it on a salad and use low-fat ranch dressing with good results. My kids love it.
