Today’s Dish: Spicy Chicken and Pineapple Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today I’m excited to share with you a delicious recipe for Spicy Chicken and Pineapple Tacos. This dish is perfect for a fun weeknight meal with a tropical twist. The combination of spicy chicken, sweet pineapple, and zesty lime is sure to tantalize your taste buds. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts (approx. 400g)
  • 1/2 fresh pineapple, diced (approx. 300g)
  • 1 red chili, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Kitchen Tools:

  • grill pan
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat up your grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Once done, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red chili, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors. Warm up the corn tortillas in the grill pan for a few seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.

To assemble the tacos, place some chicken strips on each tortilla, top with the pineapple salsa, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Feel free to add some hot sauce or sour cream for an extra kick!

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1000g, with 8 servings. Each serving weighs around 125g. An estimated calorie count per serving is 300 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to grill the pineapple for a smoky flavor that will elevate the dish to a whole new level. Trust me, it’s worth the extra effort!

I hope you enjoy making these Spicy Chicken and Pineapple Tacos as much as I do. Get creative with the ingredients and make it your own. Bon appétit!
