Instructions

Here are step-by-step instructions for making Grilled Pineapple and Chicken Tacos:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

1. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

1. Place the sliced chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly, then let them marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.

1. While the chicken is marinating, grill the pineapple slices until they have grill marks and are slightly caramelized, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside.

1. Grill the marinated chicken breasts until they are cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the slices. Make sure to discard any leftover marinade.

1. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.

1. Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side, until they are soft and pliable.

1. To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of grilled chicken on each tortilla, followed by a grilled pineapple slice.

1. Top the tacos with shredded lettuce or cabbage, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro.

1. Squeeze a lime wedge over each taco for an extra burst of flavor.

1. Serve the tacos immediately, with additional lime wedges on the side for squeezing, if desired.
