Spicy Chicken and Pineapple Tacos Recipe

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a delicious and unique recipe for Spicy Chicken and Pineapple Tacos. I was feeling inspired by the tropical flavors of summer and wanted to create a dish that packs a punch. These tacos are perfect for a casual gathering with friends or a fun weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts (400g)
  • 1 small pineapple, diced (300g)
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced (100g)
  • 1 jalapeno, diced (15g)
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small tortillas

Kitchen Tools:

  • grill pan
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • tongs
  • citrus juicer

To start, preheat your grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and place on the grill pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, sliced red onion, diced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Warm the tortillas on the grill pan for about 30 seconds per side. Assemble your tacos by placing the sliced chicken on a tortilla, topping with the pineapple salsa, and garnishing with extra cilantro.

Serving:

This recipe makes 8 tacos, with each serving weighing approximately 200 grams. Each taco is bursting with flavor and has approximately 250 calories.

One unique tip for this dish is to char the pineapple on the grill pan for a smoky flavor. It adds a delicious twist to the sweetness of the fruit and pairs perfectly with the spicy chicken.

I hope you enjoy these Spicy Chicken and Pineapple Tacos as much as I do! Feel free to customize them with your favorite toppings and make them your own. Happy cooking!
