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

Directions

Step 1

Marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 2

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 3

Cut the fresh pineapple into rings or small slices. Set aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Shred the red cabbage and carrot. Combine in a mixing bowl.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 9

Assemble the tacos: layer slices of grilled chicken, chopped pineapple, and a spoonful of coleslaw on each tortilla.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Hawaiian Tacos!
