Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Diced tomato
- 0.25 cup Ranch dressing
- 0.25 cup Taco sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for stronger flavor).
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven until soft and pliable.
To assemble each taco, place a layer of shredded lettuce on the center of a tortilla. Top with sliced chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced tomato.
Drizzle with ranch dressing and taco sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Fold the tortilla around the filling to form a soft taco. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Yaki Soft Tacos!
