Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas.
Step 1
To start your delicious enchilada journey, grab a mixing bowl and combine the shredded chicken with honey, lime juice, chili powder, and minced garlic.
Step 2
Give it a good toss to ensure every piece of chicken is coated in that flavorful marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes—this is where the magic happens as the flavors meld together.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Next, in a shallow bowl, blend the green enchilada sauce with heavy whipping cream until it’s smooth and well mixed.
Step 6
Now, take a corn tortilla and dip it into the enchilada sauce mixture, allowing it to soak up all that goodness.
Step 7
Place the dipped tortilla at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 8
Repeat this dipping process until the bottom of your dish is fully covered with those saucy tortillas.
Step 9
Once you have your base, spread half of the marinated chicken mixture over the tortillas, and sprinkle one-third of the shredded queso asadero on top for that cheesy goodness.
Step 10
Keep the layering fun by dipping more tortillas in the enchilada sauce mixture and placing them over the cheese.
Step 11
Drizzle 2 to 3 tablespoons of the enchilada sauce mixture over this layer to keep everything moist and flavorful.
Step 12
Now, repeat the layering with the remaining chicken, add another third of the queso asadero, and finish off with a final layer of those delicious dipped tortillas.
Step 13
Pour any leftover enchilada sauce mixture over the top layer, and don’t forget to sprinkle the last third of the queso asadero on top for that perfect cheesy finish.
Step 14
Pop your creation into the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is beautifully melted and golden.
Step 15
Get ready to enjoy a warm, comforting dish that’s sure to impress!.
