Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup pineapple juice
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger minced
8 small flour or corn tortillas
1 cup fresh pineapple diced
1 cup green cabbage shredded
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha sauce together for a spicy drizzle.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with sliced chicken, diced pineapple, and shredded cabbage.
Drizzle the Sauce: Top the tacos with the spicy mayo and garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm, paired with your favorite sides.
