Spicy Chicken Tacos
"This is an adapation of a taco recipe we found on foodnetwork.com Add more or less of the chili powder to your taste. They're not terribly hot, but they've got some spice to them. The salsa is really good-but you may want to increase the jalapeno to make the salsa spicier too."
