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