Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken and Pineapple:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For Serving:
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips to ensure quick and even cooking.
- Heat the pan: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm.
- Cook chicken and pineapple: Add the sliced chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes while stirring occasionally until the chicken is nearly cooked through. Add the pineapple chunks and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the pineapple is heated through.
- Warm the tortillas: In a separate pan or microwave, warm the tortillas until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the tacos: Spoon the cooked chicken and pineapple mixture onto the warmed tortillas. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for juicier meat.
- Use fresh pineapple for best flavor, but canned works fine in a pinch.
- Adjust the taco seasoning amount according to your spice preference.
- Optional toppings like chopped cilantro, diced onions, or a squeeze of lime enhance flavor.
- Serve with a side of black beans or Mexican rice for a complete meal.
