I LOVE this recipe for enchiladas. I hope you enjoy.
Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas.
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup lime juice (2 large limes)
2 tsp to 1 T chili powder
2 large cloves of garlic, finely minced or 1/2 t. garlic powder
1 1b. boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked and shredded (I used a rotissere chicken)
12 corn tortillas
2 cups mexican cheese blend, shredded
1 14 ox. can of green enchilada sauce
1/2 to 3/4 cup heavy cream
nonstick cooking spray 1 T. of chopped cilantro, to garnish.

Preheat ovent o 350 degrees. Place the cooked and shredded chicken in a medium sized bowl. Set aside. In a small bowl, place the honey, lime juice, chili powder and minced garlic or garlic powder. Whisk together thoroughly to combine. Pour this mixture over the chicken and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to marinate while you prepare tortillas, 30 minutes or upt o 1 hour, in fridge.
Heat a large griddle till a drop of water skitters across. Spray the surface with non stick cooking spray Heat tortillas about 20 seconds on each side till warm and flexible and some golden brown spots have appeared. Remove tortillas from griddle and keep them between a couplo of paper towels until ready to use.
Spray the sides and bottom of a 9X13 inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray. In a medium bowl combine the enchilada sauce and the heavy cream. Spread about 1/2 cup of the misture in the bottom of the oiled baking dish.
Add a large spoonful of the chicken mixture tho the center of each tortilla in a line. Cover the chicken with a large tablespoon of cheese, then roll the tortilla up from one side to make a rolled enchilada-it will be more of an over lap on the seam side that rolled tightly. Place the enchilada seam side down in the baking dish starting at one end with the long edge parallel to the longest side of the pan so that you end up with 2 columns of six enchiladas each.
Repeat with the reamining chicken, cheese and tortillas. You will use about 1 1/2 cups of the cheese for the filling and set the remainder aside for topping the enchiladas in the pan. Add the remaining marinade mixture to the enchilada sause and cream mixture. Pour this mixture over the top of all the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Bake the enchiladas for 30 to 35 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and starting to brown on top. Serve with sour cream, black beans, and rice or a green salad.
These are seriously the best! Let me know if you like them.

Chicken Tortilla

Hi, Brother Bryce sent this to me. I will note that B. does like things spicy. I've had good luck with recipies he has sent me, so I thought I would share.

The alterations I made, and it worked beautifully, were that I bought a roasted chicken, skinned it and shredded everything (dark meat too) instead of the chicken breasts called for.
I didn’t have any apple juice to substitute for the white wine, and I didn’t add water. It was just a tad stewy, so I’d recommend ½ - 1 cup of apple juice.
I did a very generous tsp of chili powder, but I like things spicy.
I did the whole green pepper, and I also left the seeds of the jalapeno in. I think next time I’m going to add some smoked chipotle peppers – but those add kick very quickly, so be careful w/ your kids.

I thought this soup was bomb. I just had it with cheese and tortilla chips. It’d be great w/ sour cream, avocado, and just about anything. Hope you like it.

Two new favorites

Hi,
I have two new favorite products. Revlon makes an eyebrow pencil/gel that I love. It is two sided with a mascara like wand with a color gel on one side and a pencil on the other. I don't use the pencil very often, but I love the gel. It's fast and easy and there is just enough color to help but not stand out.

Loreal has a new shampoo at the grocery store, It's Loreal EverPure. It is awesome, and like 7 dollars.

A day late

I guess I'm a day late, because just last night I got a coupon for 15% off everything at Kohl's. I just got off the phone with Mer and she went today. Sorry! But if anyone else is interested in it, just let me know and I'll email the coupon to you! Thanks!!!

Hunt

I am on the hunt for cute shorts. Even capris feel so hot down here. Have any of you seen anything of the sort?

On Saturday Smiths Marketplace (sorry out of towners) is having a great sale. IT is only one day. Geraniums, snapdragons, impatients and a few others are on sale for 69 cents for a 4 inch pot. Usually these are 2 or 3 dollars. You would have to baby them inside for a while, but it is an awesome price.

I have to share my good news. Kate slept until 6:00 a.m. last night. I've been waiting for almost 5 months! The funny thing is that I didn't sleep good because I kept waiting to get up and feed her. Atleast I know there is hope!
Merilee just shared with me that Smith's in Bountiful is having a great sale on some of their flowers this weekend (it's hard to think of flowers right now).
