Chicken Honey Lime Enchiladas

These enchiladas are amazing! They were inspired by a recipe for Honey Lime Enchiladas in justcookalready.com. I simply made my enchilada recipe but added the honey and lime mixture to marinate and it was completely worth the simple extra step! The honey added a subtle sweet flavor and the lime brightened the entire dish. The only addition I would make would be to garnish with fresh cilantro.
Ingredients:
10 oz chicken, cooked and shredded
2 whole wheat tortillas
3 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp Honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 cup black or pinto beans
6 oz salsa verde (1/2 of a Trader Joes Jar)
2 oz grated extra sharp cheddar
3 tbsp sour cream
1/4 cup corn

Instructions:
In a small bowl mix the lime juice with the honey and spices using a fork or whisk. Pour over cooked chicken and mix well. Next add sour cream and salsa verde, mix and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 375 F. Pour a thin layer of salsa verde into a baking dish. Assemble enchiladas by distributing the chicken mixture and beans evenly then fold and place in baking dish. Top with remainder of salsa verde, cheddar and corn.
