Cinnamon and Lime Chicken Fajitas

Somewhat of a variation on Black bean Sweet Potato Burritos actually, here's the recipe. I really enjoyed it...the lime and cinnamon!! MMmmmm

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 Tbs ground cinnamon (or more)
salt and pepper to taste
2 large potatoes, chopped
1/4 cup canola oil
1 large spanish onion, chopped (or yellow works)
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 Tbs chopped jalapeno peppers
1 lime, juiced
Tortillas for 6
(I also included about 3/4 of a sliced red bell pepper in the saute pan!!)

**Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease a medium baking dish. Season chicken with cinnamon, salt and pepper. Arrange in the baking dish and bake 30 minutes until no longer pink and juices run clear. Cool and shred.

**Arrange potatoes in a separate medium baking dish. Rub with about 1/2 the oil and season with salt. Bake 30-40 minutes until tender.

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

**Warm tortillas, fill 'em up and enjoy!!!
