Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 fresh pineapple
- 1 cup red cabbage
- 1 carrot
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 8 corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup cilantro (optional)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Cut the fresh pineapple into rings or small slices. Set aside.
Grill the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
While the chicken is grilling, brush the pineapple slices lightly with vegetable oil. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and slightly charred. Remove from heat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Shred the red cabbage and carrot. Combine in a mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper to create the coleslaw dressing. Pour this over the cabbage and carrot, mixing well to coat evenly.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble the tacos: layer slices of grilled chicken, chopped pineapple, and a spoonful of coleslaw on each tortilla.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Hawaiian Tacos!
