Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  2. Add the diced pineapple and red onion to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the pineapple to caramelize slightly and the flavors to meld.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous scoop of the chicken and pineapple mixture onto each tortilla.
  6. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
