CINNAMON and LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS
"Just add some rice and beans on the side and you have a great meal"

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
salt and pepper to taste
2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
¼ cup canola oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 Tbsp. jalapeno pepper
1 lime, juiced
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas, warmed

Preheat oven to 400 ^.

Place potatoes in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with about ½ of the oil, and season with salt. Bake 30-40 minutes in the preheated oven, until tender.

Meanwhile, season chicken with cinnamon, salt and pepper. Arrange in a separate baking dish, and bake 30 minutes until no longer pink and juices run clear. Cool and shred.

Heat remaining oil in skillet over medium heat, sauté garlic and onion until tender. Mix in shredded chicken, jalapeno and lime juice. Cook until heated through.

Serve the chicken and potatoes in warm tortillas.
