Description

Marinated grilled chicken tacos with pineapple salsa combines sweet and spicy to make a perfectly, easy summer dinner option.

Inactive time: 1-2 hours.

Ingredients

  • 6 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ½ cups Lime Juice
  • ¼ cups Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Coriander
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Finely Chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 8 whole Flour Or Corn Tortillas, Warmed
  • 1 cup Baby Spinach Leaves
  • 2 whole Avocados, Diced
  • FOR THE SALSA:
  • 1 cup Pineapple, Diced
  • 1 whole Jalapeno, Stem And Seeds Removed, Minced
  • 1 whole Fresno Pepper, Stem And Seeds Removed, Minced
  • ½ whole Red Bell Pepper, Stem And Seeds Removed, Diced
  • ½ whole Red Onion, Finely Diced
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
  • ½ teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice

Preparation

Place the chicken breasts and a shallow dish (with a lid). In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, brown sugar, chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, garlic, salt and pepper until smooth. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Preheat grill to medium.

Now prepare pineapple salsa. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pineapple, jalapeño, fresno, red bell pepper, onion, cilantro, sea salt, and lime juice. Stir to combine then set aside.

Remove chicken from the fridge and grill on medium for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from grill and set aside to rest for 5-10 minutes. Once rested, sliced chicken into thin pieces.

Now assemble tacos. In a taco shell, place a layer of spinach leaves and top with sliced chicken. Top with pineapple salsa and a few pieces of avocado. Serve cold or warm.

This chicken was FANTASTIC! It was very flavorful and tender and used ingredients I usually always have in my kitchen. I didn’t make the salsa, but I’m sure it would be delicious!
