Cilantro Rice

I made this rice with the enchiladas. It is delicious!!!

4 c. water
4 cubes chicken bouillon
1 tsp cumin
2 cloves garlic
6 green onions
1 T butter
6 sprigs of cilantro chopped
2 cups rice

Cook for 20-25 min.

Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas

These are delicious. We made them last night and my kids loved them

6 T honey
5 T fresh lime juice (one large lime)
1 T. Chili Powder (I used about half this)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 lb chicken, cooked and shredded
8-10 flour tortillas (I used wheat and they were great)
1 lb shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
16 oz Green Enchilada Sauce
1 c Heavy Cream

Mix first 4 ingredients and toss with shredded chicken. Let marinate for about 1/2 hour or longer. Pour about 1/2 c. enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9X13 dish. Fill tortilla with chicken and cheese, saving about 1 cup cheese to sprinkle on top. Mix remaining enchilada sauce with cream and leftover marinade (if any). Pour sauce on top of enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for 30 min. until brown on top.
