Chicken Tacos with Pineapple Salsa Recipe
Chicken tacos with pineapple salsa combine marinated grilled chicken with homemade tropical salsa for quickly assembled gourmet meals. The marination process infuses deep flavors while the actual grilling time remains minimal for busy schedules. Fresh pineapple salsa adds bright, tropical notes that elevate ordinary chicken tacos.
These chicken tacos with homemade pineapple salsa are quickly assembled once you’ve marinated the chicken. The actual grill time is only about 6 minutes.

Ingredients
1 cup tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 medium red onion, diced, divided
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon white sugar
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
1 lime, juiced
8 (7 inch) tortillas, or more as needed
1 cup shredded lettuce
8 dashes Sriracha sauce, or more to taste (Optional)
Directions
Combine tomatoes, 1/2 cup diced red onion, pineapple, and cilantro in a medium bowl. Add 1 tablespoon lime juice, salt, and sugar; toss to combine. Cover salsa with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Place the remaining red onion in the bowl of a small food processor. Add juice of one lime and process until finely ground, about 3 minutes.
Place chicken strips into a shallow dish. Slather onion mixture over the chicken, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat, about 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil the grill.
Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove to a plate.
Lightly brown the tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain the salsa.
Thinly slice the chicken, against the grain. Lay tortillas out on plates, top with lettuce, chicken, pineapple salsa, and Sriracha sauce.
