Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 0.5 cup chopped red onion
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the chipotle chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken thighs.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  3. Warm the tortillas on the grill or microwave. Assemble tacos by placing sliced chicken on each tortilla, topping with diced pineapple, red onion, and cilantro.
  4. Serve immediately with optional lime wedges.
