Honey Lime Enchiladas

Hi, my name is Tiffany and I love Mexican food. I love it in almost all forms and would be happy eating it just about every day. Even twice a day if the opportunity were to arise. We live in a neighborhood that is still largely being built and when you watch Fixer Upper and Chip talks about the Taco Truck? Yaaaa, those are real. And the food is so, so good. It is a good thing I’m not home most days during the day oooooor I’d likely eat at one every single day. It takes real effort to avoid stopping at one whenever I see one.

Most unfortunately, my husband does not share my love of Mexican Food. Who is he?? It’s alright – he’s pretty great otherwise so I will cut him a little slack here. But, that largely means I have to limit my consumption because he is definitely not onboard with eating at the Taco Truck everyday. Or me making something Mexican themed everyday or even once a week. So, I try to get creative and come up with things that aren’t entirely Mexican enough to turn him off to the meal but have enough of the flavor to make me happy. Enter: Honey Lime Enchiladas.

These Enchiladas are super delicious and will leave your palate singing. There is something about the honey lime combination that you can’t help but love and both of these ingredients are tasted loud and proud here – chock that one up to the large amount of lime zest. If given the option, I will always add the zest. It took me a while to realize this, but that is where most of the lime (or lemon) flavor in a dish comes from. Not the juice. The best part is that these enchiladas aren’t a soggy soupy mess like a lot of enchiladas are. I have a real problem with that sort of texture and it isn’t tolerated for even a minute around here.

These are very easy to make and cook up fairly quickly. You do need to marinate the chicken for at least 3o minutes, so that does take up time, but it isn’t active time. You also have the option of throwing your chicken in to marinate up to 24 hours before so it can be ready and waiting for your to wrap up and cook when you get home from work if that is easier. I don’t know about you but about the time we roll into the driveway is about the time my 4 year old is demanding all the food. Never mind the fact that he already had a snack on the way home and one right before he left school. Guys, he is 4 and already eats allllll the food in our kitchen. I don’t even know what we will do when he is a teenager. Anyways, because of this I’m all about quick dinners once I get home. This one fits the bill, especially if you’ve already done the leg work before hand.
