Honey Lime Enchiladas

This has become one of our favorite recipes since I got it from my aunt. Especially if you like sweet and spicy together...(its not really spicy).

4 T. honey

2 T. lime juice
1 T. oil (I used olive oil)
2 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
Mexican blend shredded cheese (I use whatever cheese I have, but it is really good with this)
Flour tortillas, soft taco size
1 can green enchilada sauce

Cook and shred 4 chicken breasts. Mix above sauce with shredded chicken. Roll chicken mixture and grated cheese into flour tortillas. Top with green enchilada sauce and a little grated cheese. Bake at 350º for 30-40 minutes.

Melissa, ever since you made these for us after Collin was born, they are the only chicken enchiladas I'll make! We love them. Thanks for the recipe!

We tried these last night. We didn't have enchilada sauce and substituted it with green salsa. I LOVED the way the honey and lime turned out marinated in chicken. Thanks!

Cooking Tip of the Week

onions and chocolate do not go together.

when handling hot peppers, ALWAYS use gloves. A pepper burn is just as bad as boiling water.

When cooking donuts, try to handle the dough as little as possible to keep them fluffy and pretty. Then scarf them down.

Spilling hot oil on you hand and foot hurt a lot worse than boiling water.

If your brown sugar gets hard (or you want hard cookies to be soft), you can add either a piece of bread or an orange peel in a air tight container. The next day it should be soft and loose again.

To get berry stains out of clothes or towels etc., just pour boiling water on it before washing and watch them disappear like magic.

If you think you have someone eating out of your hands, it's a good idea to count your fingers.

If you don't know how to make something, call your mom, if she doesn't know, call your grandma, if she doesn't know, make something else.

If you put a couple slices of butter underneath the skin of a turkey or chicken before you cook it the meat will be more moist.

For moist muffins, the batter should be lumpy. Be careful not to over mix. (and dont burn them)

ALWAYS check your oven before preheating...there might be a birthday cake in it that is already cooked and frosted.

To get more juice out of a lemon, microwave it for about 5 seconds, roll it on the counter pressing down, then cut and squeeze.

When cooking steak (or any meat that isn't ground) sear both sides to keep the juices in and make the meat more tender.

Most recipes now a days have alcohol in them. Here is a link for substitutions... http://whatscookingamerica.net/alcoholsub.htm
It explains why each thing is a substituion for the different types, and I use it all the time.

If you cut brownies with a plastic knife, it doesn't tear chunks out of the pieces, and you get smooth lines.

Never spill boiling water on your hand.... It really hurts.
