Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (diced)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh pineapple (finely diced)
1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 tablespoon lime juice
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Instructions
Season the Chicken
In a bowl, toss diced chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt until evenly coated.
Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to develop a golden crust.
Stir and continue cooking for another 4–5 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from heat.
Prepare Pineapple Salsa
In a bowl, combine diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well.
Warm the Tortillas
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos
Fill tortillas with cooked chicken and top generously with pineapple salsa. Serve immediately.
Notes
Store chicken and salsa separately for best freshness.
Substitute chicken thighs for a juicier, more flavorful option.
Add jalapeños for extra heat.
Best served fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
