Fabulous Tortilla Filling! - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    chicken
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
    2 tablespoons oil
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 teaspoon your favorite chili powder
    2 tablespoons lime juice
    vegetables
    3 tablespoons oil
    1 large onion, sliced finely
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon your favorite chili powder
    1/2 head cabbage, shredded finely about 6c
    1 tablespoon oregano
    2 tablespoons lime juice
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    wrappy device
    8 corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)
Preparation
    In a 9x13\" baking dish, sprinkle chicken with salt, cinnamon & chili powder. Add lime juice & swish it all around; marinate for awhile, half hour or so while the oven preheats.
    Preheat the oven to 450\u00b0F When hot, add pan of chicken for about a 1/2 hour until cooked. Remove from pan to a cutting board to cool a bit before slicing thinly (like a flank steak) and returning to pan.
    While the chicken is in the oven --.
    If you have one, a 12\" cast iron skillet is perfect for this. Heat 3TB oil over medium to low heat. Add onion & seasonings. I used regular 'chili powder' but next time might use ancho or even chipotle. Slowly caramelize the onion. Add cabbage, oregano, lime juice & salt. Toss until wilted. Remove from heat.
    If using flour tortillas, warm and make fajitas! If using corn, briefly fry in hot oil and make tacos! Heck, roll into a tortilla & make enchiladas! Go for it!
    Add chicken & cabbage/onion mixture to wrappy device of your choice & enjoy! We didn't use salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or cheese but you could!
