I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Healthy Honey Lime Enchiladas

This was another recipe I found thanks to Pinterest. I couldn't wait to try this one out  because I love Mexican food, but this had a hint of sweet flavor instead of spicy.

I cooked the chicken and shredded it the day before so that way all I had to do was mix the ingredients & put in the oven....easy enough!

Ingredients:
3 small bonless, skinless chicken breasts; cooked and shredded
5 Tbsp. lime juice (If you use fresh, its about a lime and a half)
5 Tbsp. Honey (*I used 4 Tbsp.)
1 Tsp. Paprika
1 Tsp. Garlic Powder
6-8 Flour tortillas (*I might try corn next time)
Mexican Blend Cheese
Cheddar Cheese
1 can Green Enchilada Sauce

What to do:
  • Preheat oven to 350
  • In a bowl, mix together the chicken, lime juice, honey, paprika and garlic powder
  • Layer a small amount (not too much) of your enchilada sauce on the bottom of your 8x8 or 9x13 pan
  • On each of your tortillas, put the chicken mixture in the center, sprinkle with your Mexican Blend Cheese and roll up (*If you warm up your tortillas first, they won't break/tear as you are rolling them up- :) Just a little hint that I learned that a few years ago)
  • Place seam side down
  • After you roll up each tortilla and place seam side down in your pan, pour the enchilada sauce over all of your enchiladas Sprinkle with Cheddar Cheese

*Ready to put in the oven


  • BAKE @ 350 for 25 MINUTES




Kyle really liked the flavor so it has definitely been added to my Recipe Keeper...it was perfect with Uncle Ben's Rice!!

ENJOY :)
