Honey lime chicken enchiladas

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.

2cooked chicken breast halves, shredded
1/3cup honey
1/4cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2teaspoons chili powder

1/2cup heavy whipping cream
12corn tortillas

2.Whisk honey, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic together in a bowl; pour over chicken and toss to coat. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
