Kick your Taco Tuesday or Cinco de Mayo up a notch with these pineapple lime chicken tacos that are hearty and full of flavors!
Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas (gluten-free if needed)
- 3 cups prepared salsa
- Avocado sliced or guacamole
- Red cabbage, thinly sliced
- Jalapeno slices
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 handful fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
Chicken Marinade
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano (or 3/4 tsp dry)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the marinade and chicken ingredients. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate it overnight in the refrigerator.

- Warm the tortillas on the grill, about 20 seconds per side.
- Add red cabbage and chicken in a warm tortilla. Top with salsa, guacamole, jalapeno, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
