Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skinless boneless chicken thighs
  • 200g fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 small shallot
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Small handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, cubed
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp chipotle paste
  • 2 tbsp runny honey
  • 1 1/2 tsp tomato puree
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large garlic cloves

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the pineapple into chunks, cube the avocado, and chop the coriander. Set them aside in prep bowls.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken thighs, chipotle paste, honey, lime juice, tomato puree, garlic, and salt. Rub the marinade all over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat the Pan: Grab a large skillet and heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Sauté Shallots: Add the chopped shallots and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken thighs to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.
  6. Add Pineapple: Toss in the pineapple chunks and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in the same pan for about 30 seconds on each side.
  8. Assemble the Tacos: Fill the warmed tortillas with the chicken and pineapple mixture, topping with avocado and coriander.
