Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

I altered this recipe a bit to keep it under 400 calories. You can add more cheese, but it will increase your calories a lot.

1.5 lbs chicken, shredded (I use rotisserie)

Marinade:
1/3 C honey
1/4 C lime juice
1 T. chili powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Other ingredients:
1 (15 oz) can green chili enchilada sauce
2 C mozzarella (1/4 C per tortilla)
8 tortillas (most are about 150 cals, if you can find good tasting ones that are less, use them)

Mix together marinade ingredients and add the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Lightly spray 9X13 pan. Pour 1/2 of enchilada sauce on bottom of pan to coat entire bottom. Fill tortillas with 1/3 C chicken mixture and 1/4 C cheese. Roll and place in dish. Pour remaining sauce over the top. Bake uncovered at 350* for about 30 minutes.

(If you want to put cheese on the top as well, place it under the broiler till slightly browned and crispy. You will also need to add the additional calories)

Calorie Count: 1 enchilada (without tortilla)= 155 calories
my 150 cal tortilla makes it 305
