Ingredients

  • 2 medium chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco (optional)

Preparation

  • 1.

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  • 2.

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, chipotle in adobo sauce, ground cumin, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper to create a marinade.

  • 3.

    Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade, ensuring they are well covered. Allow them to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  • 4.

    While the chicken is marinating, prepare the pineapple salsa by mixing the diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt to taste and set aside.

  • 5.

    Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  • 6.

    While the chicken rests, warm the corn tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

  • 7.

    Assemble the tacos by placing sliced chicken on each tortilla, topping with pineapple salsa, avocado slices, and crumbled queso fresco if desired. Serve immediately.
