- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks (or well-drained canned pineapple chunks)
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into medium wedges or thick slices
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 warm corn tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, for topping
- Lime juice, for topping
- Crumbled cotija cheese, for topping
- Diced avocado, for topping
- Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, for topping
- Hot sauce, for topping
- Sliced jalapeños or pickled red onions, for topping
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Chop your chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion into roughly 1-inch pieces.
- 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.
- Spread the seasoned mixture onto your prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
- 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.
- While the mixture is roasting, warm your tortillas on a dry skillet over medium-high heat for about 15-30 seconds per side.
- Once the chicken and pineapple mixture is ready, remove it from the oven and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
- Spoon generous amounts of the chicken and pineapple filling into your warm tortillas and add your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
