Hands down, this is the best enchilada recipe I've ever had. It's my new favorite recipe. If you like sweet and spicy, you'll love these. Thank you Michelle, for sharing!INGREDIENTS:
CHICKEN MARINADE
2-3 boneless skinless breasts, cooked and shredded (I cooked mine in 6 cups of water, with 1 chopped onion and 4-6 cloves of garlic, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/4 teaspoons fresh ground pepper. After the water came to a boil, I covered the pot and let it simmer on medium-low for 1-2 hours until it was tender. Then, I drained the chicken and when it was cool enough to handle, I shredded it. I did this the night before, and stuck it in the fridge sitting in some of the juices in a covered container.)
6 tablespoons of honey
5 tablespoons fresh lime juice (roughly the juice of 2 large limes or 3 small limes)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
REMAINING INGREDIENTS
flour tortillas (I used the taco size)
2 lbs mexican blend shredded cheese (I used a combination of shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese)
1 lg can green chili enchilada sauce
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
DIRECTIONS:
- Combine chicken marinade ingredients, place in a ziploc bag or covered container and let marinade for 1/2 hour to 3 hours (but at least 1/2 hour).
- In a small saucepan, whisk together green chili enchilada sauce with sour cream and milk/heavy cream on medium. Stir until combined. Remove from heat.
- Pour 1/2 cup sauce in bottom of pan
- Warm flour tortillas 6 at a time in damp paper towels in your microwave for 45 seconds. This makes them easier to roll.
- Place cheese, chicken and sauce in each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam side down in 9X13 casserole dish (this may fill another 9X9 pan-it makes a lot). Fill your pan(s) then pour remaining sauce (reserving some to serve on the side later) over the enchiladas. Place remaining cheese on top.
- Bake on 350 for 25 minutes.
- Serve with sweet rice.
