Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup Fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1/2 Red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 Red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 12 small Tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Shredded cabbage or slaw mix
  • Avocado slices
  • Sriracha mayo
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Whisk the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix until the honey is dissolved and the ingredients are well blended.
  2. Marinate the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Stir to coat the chicken thoroughly. Cover and let it sit for at least 15 minutes for maximum flavor.
  3. Sauté the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
  4. Add the pineapple and peppers: Stir in the fresh pineapple, red bell pepper, and jalapeño, if using. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the pineapple is warmed and slightly caramelized.
  5. Prepare the tortillas: While the chicken mixture is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they’re pliable and heated through.
  6. Assemble the tacos: To assemble, layer a generous scoop of the chicken and pineapple mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of sriracha mayo.
  7. Serve with lime wedges: Finish off with fresh lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze before enjoying these delicious tacos!

Notes

These tacos are quick to prepare and perfect for a casual dinner or festive gathering. Try pairing with black beans or corn salad.
