Cooking instruction summary:

For the Tex-Mex Oven Fries:Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rinse and dry the potatoes. Cut potatoes lengthwise, without peeling them, into slices 1/2 inch thick, then cut each slice into batons about 1/4 inch wide and 3-4 inches long. Place the potatoes in a large zip top bag. Pour the melted, but cool coconut oil into the bag (if it is hot it will melt the plastic), zip the bag, and shake to coat. Arrange in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet (I lined mine with a parchment paper so they wouldn't stick) and sprinkle with 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle lightly with chipotle powder or chili powder - the amount is up to you according to your heat preferences. I used about 1/8 teaspoon chipotle powder.Roast, stirring with a spatula midway through baking time, until tender and browned on the edges, about 20-30 minutes.In a bowl, mix cilantro, lime zest, and garlic. Sprinkle over warm oven fries and mix gently to coat. Season to taste with additional salt, if desired, and serve immediately.
