- 2 cooked chicken breast halves, shredded
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 (14 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded queso asadero (white Mexican cheese)
- Place shredded chicken in a bowl.
- Whisk honey, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic together in a bowl; pour over chicken and toss to coat. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

- Spread 1/2 the chicken mixture over dipped-tortilla layer. Sprinkle 1/3 the queso asadero over chicken layer. Dip more tortillas in enchilada sauce mixture and arrange over queso asadero layer. Spoon 2 to 3 spoonful enchilada sauce mixture over tortilla layer. Repeat layering with remaining chicken, 1/3 queso asadero, ending with a layer of dipped tortillas. Pour any remaining enchilada sauce mixture over tortillas. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 queso asadero over enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted and golden, about 30 minutes.
