Print Recipe

Delicious tacos filled with juicy chicken and fresh pineapple salsa for a sweet and savory meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Toss the diced chicken in a bowl with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to develop a crust.
  3. Stir the meat and continue cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes until fully cooked through. Remove from heat.
  4. Combine the diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl to make the salsa.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave, then assemble by adding the cooked meat and topping generously with the fresh salsa.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes before cooking. Serve with extra toppings like sliced avocado or jalapeños.
