This has become one of the most-requested dishes I make. When I bring it to a function, it's one of the first dishes to go, and everybody raves over how good it is.

2 cookeds chicken breast halves , shredded
0.33 cups honey
0.25 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons minced garlic

12 corns tortillas
2 cups shredded queso asadero , white Mexican cheese

Whisk honey, lime juice, chili powder, and garlic together in a bowl; pour over chicken and toss to coat. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Spoon 2 to 3 spoonful enchilada sauce mixture over tortilla layer. Repeat layering with remaining chicken, 1/3 queso asadero, ending with a layer of dipped tortillas.
