This dish combines the heat of spicy chicken with the sweetness of pineapple for a flavor explosion that will leave your taste buds begging for more. Let’s dive into how to make these delicious Spicy Chicken and Pineapple Tacos.

Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• pineapple, peeled and diced
• red bell pepper, diced
• yellow onion, thinly sliced

• olive oil
• chili powder
• cumin
• cayenne pepper
• chopped fresh cilantro
• corn tortillas

Kitchen Tools:

Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and season with chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks. In the same skillet, add the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, yellow onion, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and mix everything together. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until they are pliable. Spoon the chicken and pineapple mixture into the tortillas and serve hot. Feel free to top with additional cilantro, avocado, or a squeeze of lime for extra flavor.

This recipe makes approximately 8 tacos, with each serving weighing around 200 grams. One serving of these Spicy Chicken and Pineapple Tacos is around 350 calories.

Pro-tip: For an extra kick of flavor, try grilling the pineapple before adding it to the taco filling. It will add a delicious smoky sweetness that takes this dish to the next level.
