This recipe features marinated chicken grilled to perfection, topped with a fresh pineapple salsa and jalapeños for an added kick. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1 jalapeño, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Sour cream and avocado for serving (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Salsa: In another bowl, mix diced pineapple, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place sliced chicken on each tortilla, top with pineapple salsa, and add sour cream and avocado if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately while warm.
