Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine chicken thighs with al pastor seasoning. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Grill the Pineapple

    On the same grill or skillet, add sliced pineapple and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side. Layer sliced chicken, diced onions, chopped cilantro, and grilled pineapple on each tortilla.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos with a side of chipotle salsa for dipping.
