These are yummy and so easy! I used 4 chicken breasts and kept everything else the same. Last night I made 8 enchiladas. They aren't real spicy, (I don't do spicy..) but the heat can be easily increased.

For dessert, Key Lime Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream!

This has to be the best batter I've ever made!! I still had my cast on when I was zesting the limes~tough job, so it ended up a bit skimpy~there was simply no way I could hold those little limes with an immobilized thumb! The recipe made 16 cupcakes and they taste even better this morning than they did last night. (if eating cupcakes for breakfast is wrong, then I don't want to be right..) I made a full recipe of the icing as I'm planning to make cupcakes (pina colada) on Saturday night when we have people over for 'Cinco de Mayo meets Hockey Night in Canada' Should be fun!
