Today’s Recipe: Spicy Pineapple Chicken Tacos

Welcome foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation: Spicy Pineapple Chicken Tacos. This dish was inspired by a recent trip to a tropical island where I enjoyed the perfect blend of sweet and spicy flavors. It’s the ideal meal for a fun and casual dinner with friends or family.

Ingredients:

  • 500g chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1 jalapeno, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 small tortillas, warmed

Kitchen Tools:

  • cutting board
  • knife
  • skillet
  • tongs

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the cubed chicken breast. Season with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Add the diced pineapple, sliced jalapeno, and red onion to the skillet. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

While the chicken mixture is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave. Place a generous scoop of the spicy pineapple chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Feel free to garnish with additional sliced jalapenos, red onion, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g and provides approximately 300 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a touch of honey to the chicken mixture for an extra hint of sweetness. This will balance out the spiciness of the jalapenos and chili powder, creating a perfectly harmonious flavor profile.

I hope you give these Spicy Pineapple Chicken Tacos a try at your next gathering. Enjoy experimenting with different toppings and spices to make this dish your own!
