Honey Lime Enchiladas and Sweet Pepper Rice

I have made these several times since finding the recipe a short while ago and my friends family, the missionaries, and the Landrums said it was very tasty.

1.5 lbs pork or chicken, cooked and shredded
Sauce:
1/3 c honey
1/4 c lime juice
1 Tb chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 (10 oz) cans green enchilada sauce
1 cup whipping cream
equal parts mixed together of:
mozzarella cheese, shredded
cheddar cheese, shredded
flour tortillas

Mix together sauce ingredients then add to shredded pork or chicken. Let the sauce soak into the meat for about 30 minutes.

Lightly spray a 9x13 or slightly bigger pan. Pour green enchilada sauce and some of whipping cream into pan to coat the entire bottom. Fill tortillas with shredded meat and desired amount of cheese. Roll and place in dish.

Pour remainder of sauce and cream over enchiladas and sprinkle more cheese on top. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Then turn on broiler. Let it broil until cheese is slightly brown and crispy. If you like things a bit more spicy then use 1 1/2 cans of enchilada sauce and no whipping cream.


Sweet Pepper Rice

3 T. butter
1 sweet onion, finely chopped
1/2 red pepper, finely chopped
1/4 c. cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 c. sugar
3 c. chicken stock
1 1/3 c. long grain rice

Saute onion and pepper in butter till tender. Add cilantro, salt, and garlic and cook 1 min. Add rice and let brown.
Dissolve sugar in stock. Add to rice and bring to a boil. Turn to low and cover, simmer 30 min.
