We typically do these without the cream, and we prefer green Chile sauce. Recipe from hubby's cousin but found at allrecipes.com as well.
Honey-Lime Chicken Enchiladas
INGREDIENTS
| 2 | cooked chicken breast halves, shredded |
| 1/3 | cup honey |
| 1/4 | cup freshly squeezed lime juice |
| 2 | teaspoons chili powder |
| 2 | teaspoons minced garlic |
| 1 | (14 ounce) can green enchilada sauce |
| 1/2 | cup heavy whipping cream |

| 2 | cups shredded queso asadero (white Mexican cheese) |
INSTRUCTIONS
