ingredients

chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

- 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)
directions
- 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°F 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!

Delicious! I used 3 very large chicken breasts (2.38 lb) and a 16 oz bag of "angel hair cole slaw" (pre-shredded cabbage). Otherwise followed the recipe except I forgot to add the seasonings to the onions until after they'd been cooking for about 10 minutes (though I don't think this affected anything). Served in small flour tortillas (the ones that are the size of corn tortillas). Thanks for sharing!
