Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (marinated)
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple (cubed)
  • ¼ cup red onion (diced)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 8 small tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Optional: jalapeño slices and avocado

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing chili powder, cumin, paprika, and lime juice in a bowl. Coat the chicken thighs and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, prepare the pineapple salsa by combining cubed pineapple, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeño in another bowl. Set aside.
  3. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let it rest before slicing.
  4. Warm the tortillas on the grill or skillet. Assemble each taco by filling a tortilla with sliced chicken and topping it with pineapple salsa. Add avocado if desired.
  5. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
