Ingredients

Chicken Breasts (1 pound)

Chicken breasts serve as the protein base for these tacos. They are lean and cook quickly, ensuring that the meal remains healthy and satisfying. When diced into small pieces, they absorb the flavors from the spices and pineapple beautifully.

Fresh Pineapple (1 cup)

Using fresh pineapple adds a natural sweetness that perfectly complements the savory chicken. It provides a juicy texture that balances out the dish. You can cut it into small chunks or use pre-cut pineapple for convenience.

Olive Oil (2 tablespoons)

Olive oil is essential for cooking the chicken and preventing it from sticking to the pan. It also adds a subtle flavor that enhances the overall taste of the tacos. Using extra virgin olive oil can elevate your dish even more.

Taco Seasoning (2 tablespoons)

Taco seasoning brings all the necessary spices together in one convenient mix. It typically includes chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika—perfectly suited for chicken tacos. You can use store-bought or make your own blend for added freshness.

Corn Tortillas (8 small)

Corn tortillas are traditional for making tacos; they add an authentic touch to your dish. They’re soft yet sturdy enough to hold all your delicious fillings without falling apart during serving.

Fresh Cilantro (1/4 cup)

Fresh cilantro adds a burst of freshness and a hint of citrus flavor to your tacos. Chopped finely and sprinkled on top right before serving, it brightens up each bite.

Lime (1 medium)

Lime juice gives a zesty kick that enhances the flavors in your tacos. Squeezing fresh lime over your finished dish not only enhances taste but also adds acidity which balances sweetness from the pineapple.
