Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

For the Filling

  • 3 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless (about 1 ½ pounds total))
  • ⅓ cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¾ cup honey
  • Juice from 1 lime

For the Sauce

  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • zest from 1 lime

Additional Ingredients

  • 8-10 flour tortillas (I use 8 inch.)
  • 2 cups cheese (shredded, montery jack, colby jack, or cheddar cheese.)

Instructions
 

For the Filling

  • Place chicken, spices and honey in the crock pot for 4 hours on low.
  • Shred chicken and add lime juice, stir to combine.

For the Sauce

  • Combine salsa verde, cream, and lime zest.

To Assemble

  • Spread about ½ cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
  • Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  • Fill with chicken mixture, for the size of tortillas I used (8 inch) it was about ¼-1/3 cup for each tortilla.
  • Place in filled tortillas in the pan, seam side down.
  • Pour remaining sauce over the top, spreading it so each tortilla is coated.
  • Top with cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F covered for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake 5-10 more until cheese is melted and bubbly.
