Honey, lemon and chili flavors blend wonderfully in enchiladas. My family devours this dish, so I also use the chicken filling for soft tacos with toppings. —Kristi Moak, Gilbert, Arizona

Ingredients

1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
2 cans (10 ounces each) green enchilada sauce
12 corn tortillas (6 inches), warmed
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Sliced green onions and chopped tomatoes, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk the first five ingredients. Add chicken and toss to coat.
Pour 1 can enchilada sauce into a greased microwave-safe 11x7-in. dish. Place 1/4 cup chicken mixture off center on each tortilla. Roll up and place in prepared dish, seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce.
Microwave, covered, on high 11-13 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese. If desired, top with green onions and tomatoes.

<b>Editor's Note:</b> If your microwave does not accommodate an 11x7-in. dish, bake casserole, covered, in a preheated 400° oven for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese and top as directed.
