Cinnamon Lime Fajitas
(from allrecipes.com)
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
 
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
 
- salt and pepper to taste
 
- 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
 
- 1/4 cup canola oil
 
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
 
- 1 large clove garlic, peeled and minced
 
- 1 tablespoon chopped jalapeno peppers (optional)
 
- 1 lime, juiced
 
- 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas, warmed
 
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
 
- Place potatoes in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with about 1/2 the oil, and season with salt. Bake 30 to 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 in the preheated oven, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Cool and shred.
 
- Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute onion and garlic until tender. Mix in shredded chicken, jalapeno, and lime juice. Cook until heated through.
 
- Serve the chicken and potatoes in warmed tortillas.
 
My adaptation to save time:
Throw some chicken in the crockpot; sprinkle a little salt, pepper, diced onion, garlic powder and cinnamon on there.  When done, add a couple potatoes (peeled and cubed) you've nuked in the microwave.  Drain juice from crockpot, add lime juice and more salt/pepper/cinnamon to taste.  Serve in tortillas with cheese, sour cream, and lettuce.  I like ketchup; you might like salsa.  
Try something new- these aren't over the wrong edge with cinnamon!  If you're scared just scale back as much as you need to.  The potato adds a nice flavor and texture.
