Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Begin by preparing the pineapple and chicken. Cut the pineapple into small chunks and chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Finely dice the red onion and chop the cilantro, setting them aside for garnishing.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet, cooking until it is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Once the chicken is almost done, add the pineapple and red onion to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and fragrant.
Serving
- Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Warm the soft tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
- Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the pineapple-chicken mixture and garnishing as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For extra juiciness, marinate the chicken in olive oil and seasonings before cooking. Store leftover chicken if you have any; it makes a great addition to salads or wraps. Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor; the canned version may add unwanted sugars. Don’t overcook the chicken to maintain its moist texture. The tacos can be customized with various toppings like avocado or lime juice.
