A delightful twist on classic chicken tacos, featuring a zesty pineapple salsa and a blend of flavorful spices.
Combine the chicken, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and juice from the lemon in a mixing bowl.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side.
Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
Dice the pineapple, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Chop the cilantro finely.
Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor, but canned works in a pinch.
Combine the diced pineapple, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and salt in a bowl. Mix well.
Let the salsa sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and enhances their flavor.
Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with cooked chicken, pineapple salsa, shredded lettuce, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
