Honey-Lime Chicken Enchiladas

We LOVE this recipe.  It is one of our very very favorites and we get so many compliments.  I will usually double the recipe and freeze half of it for later.  I also love to make this for compassionate service dinners.

6 Tbsp honey
4 1/2 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
flour tortillas
monterey jack cheese, shredded
2 10 oz. can green enchilada sauce

Mix first 4 ingredients together and toss with shredded chicken.  Let it "marinate" for at least a half hour.  pour some green enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 pan (just cover the bottom, about half a can or less).  Fill flour tortillas with chicken and shredded cheese.  Pour the rest of the can of green enchilada sauce over enchiladas then sprinkle with more cheese.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.  Put it under the broiler for the last couple of minutes to make the cheese brown and crispy on top.
