Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

I found this yummy recipe at the Sister's Cafe. It's really fantastic; even the kids loved it. *The recipe makes 12 large enchiladas and fills (2) 9 x 13 pans.

Ingredients
1/3 cup honey
4.5 Tbs lime juice
1 Tbs chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

6 cups cooked chicken, shredded
12 flour tortillas, soft taco size
4.5 cups colby and/or monterey jack cheese, shredded
(3) 10 oz. cans green enchilada sauce

Directions
Mix first 4 ingredients together and toss with shredded chicken. Let it "marinate" for at least a half hour. Pour 1/2 can green enchilada sauce on the bottom of each 9x13 pan. Fill flour tortillas with 1/2 cup chicken and 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Roll and put in the pan. Pour one whole can of green enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas; then sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. (Put it under the broiler at the end for approx 5 minutes to make the cheese brown and crispy on the top.)
