Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple (cubed)
  • 8 small tortillas (flour or corn)
  • Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, avocado, diced red onion, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Combine chili powder, cumin, paprika, and lime juice. Coat the chicken thighs and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: In a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat, cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
