About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb chicken breast
- 2 tbsp chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- Goya Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- to taste black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- red spice powder
- brown spice powder
- yellow liquid
- white creamy substance (likely mayonnaise or sour cream)
Pineapple Salsa
- 1 cup pineapple
- 1/4 cup red onion
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1 lime
- 0.5 jalapeño
- 1 clove garlic
- to taste salt
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl, combine the chipotle pepper in adobo sauce with the white creamy substance (mayonnaise or sour cream) to create a creamy chipotle sauce.
- 2In a bowl, add the chicken pieces, drizzle with olive oil, and coat with the creamy chipotle sauce. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss by hand to marinate for about 10 minutes.
- 3Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, turning and basting with any remaining sauce, until browned and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes.
- 4While the chicken cooks, prepare the pineapple salsa by mixing diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and minced garlic in a bowl. Season with salt to taste.
- 5Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
- 6Assemble the tacos: place a few spoonfuls of chicken on each tortilla, top with pineapple salsa, and serve immediately.
