Spicy and Sweet Chicken Tacos

This recipe features marinated chicken grilled to perfection, topped with a refreshing pineapple salsa that balances the heat of jalapeños. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Sliced avocado and lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and lime juice. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Salsa: In another bowl, mix the diced pineapple, jalapeños, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet 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 for a few minutes before slicing.
Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place sliced chicken on each tortilla, top with pineapple salsa, and add avocado slices if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos warm with lime wedges on the side.
