True education seeks, then, to make men and women not only good mathematicians, proficient linguists, profound scientists, or brilliant literary lights, but also honest men, combined with virtue, temperance, and brotherly love – men and women who prize truth, justice, wisdom, benevolence, and self-control as the choicest acquisitions of a successful life-David O.

Honey Lime Enchiladas from favfamilyrecipes.com
Honey Lime chicken Enchiladas from favfamilyrecipes.com
1 small, onion, peeled & diced (use a
sweet onion if you can find it)
3 chicken breast halves
1/2 c. chicken broth
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic, minced (2-3 cloves)
salt & pepper (to taste)
6 tablespoons honey
5 tablespoons lime juice (1 large lime)
8-10 flour tortillas
1 lb. Monterey jack cheese, shredded
16 ounces green enchilada sauce (we
like Las Palmas brand, but any brand is great)
1 c. heavy cream
Saute onion in a little butter until it becomes
transparent and soft. In a crock pot* add chicken
, chicken broth, sauteed onion, chili powder, garlic
, and salt & pepper. Cook on low for about 8 hours
(or high for 3-4) adding more broth if needed (you
don't want it to cook out completely). Remove chicken
from crock pot and shred, then return to crock pot
and simmer another 5 min. Drain out some of the
juices (but not all of it... keep about 1/4 c.) and
add honey and lime. Place seasoned, shredded
chicken in a Ziploc bag and seal tightly, pressing out as much air as you can. Marinate at least 30-40 minutes.. longer if you can (I did about an hour).
While chicken
is marinating spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray,
then pour about 1/2 c. of enchilada sauce over the
bottom. Fill tortillas with chicken mixture (don't throw
out the marinade.. you will use it for the sauce) and
shredded cheese, saving about 1 c. of cheese to
sprinkle on top of enchiladas. Mix the remaining enchilada
sauce with heavy cream and leftover marinade. Pour
sauce on top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until brown and
crispy on top. Serve hot and top with your favorite
enchilada toppings.
*If you don't have a crock-pot, just boil chicken
in the same ingredients in a large pot with a little extra
chicken broth until cooked through and can shred.
