Steps to Make Pineapple Chicken Tacos
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and optional red pepper flakes. Add the cubed chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.
- While the chicken marinates, prepare the pineapple salsa by combining diced pineapple, red bell pepper, finely diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a large bowl. Toss everything together until evenly mixed.
- After marinating, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- To prepare the tortillas, warm them until pliable using a hot skillet, damp cloth in the microwave, or toasting over a low flame.
- To assemble, layer shredded cabbage or slaw mix in the warm tortillas, followed by the cooked chicken and pineapple salsa. Add optional toppings as desired.

Store leftover tacos in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reassemble just before serving for optimal texture and flavor.
