Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Chop your chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine your chopped chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with taco seasoning. Toss well to ensure all ingredients are coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned mixture onto your prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
  5. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  6. While the mixture is roasting, warm your tortillas on a dry skillet over medium-high heat for about 15-30 seconds per side.
  7. Once the chicken and pineapple mixture is ready, remove it from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
  8. Spoon generous amounts of the chicken and pineapple filling into your warm tortillas and add your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
