Steps:
- 1. CHICKEN DIRECTIONS - In a small bowl, whisk chicken rub ingredients together and rub evenly all over chicken breasts. Time permitting, allow chicken to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate up to 8 hours then bring to room temperature for before cooking. STOVETOP DIRECTIONS If chicken has been refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for 15-30 minutes (time permitting). Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Once very hot, add chicken and cook, undisturbed for 3-5 minutes, or until nicely browned (or blackened if you prefer) on one side. Turn chicken over, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for approximately 5-7 more minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. 2. GRILLED PINEAPPLE SALSA DIRECTIONS: Grease grill and heat to medium high heat. Drizzle red onions with olive oil. Drizzle red bell pepper quarters and jalapeno with olive oil to lightly coat. Working in batches as needed depending on grill size, grill pineapple and vegetables at medium high heat until tender and lightly charred all over, about 12 minutes for the onions, turning occasionally, about 8-10 minutes for the pineapple, or until caramelized, flipping once, 6 minutes for the red bell peppers, flipping once, and jalapeno for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally. Once cool enough to handle, dab off any excess oil with paper towels from vegetables and chop pineapple (cutting around core), red bell peppers, and onions. Devein and deseed jalapeno and dice, reserving some of the seeds if desired. Toss pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, ginger, cumin and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. If you would like it spicier, add some of the jalapeno seeds to taste. Can be served immediately or even better chilled. 3. AVOCADO CREMA DIRECTIONS: To make the Avocado Crema, add all the Crema ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth, scraping sides down as needed. May make 4 hours ahead of time and refrigerate in an airtight container. 4. ASSEMBLE TACOS: To assemble, melt cheese on tortillas in the microwave or stovetop then top with Chili Lime Chicken, Pineapple Salsa followed by Avocado Crema.
- To ensure the pineapple slices are evenly grilled, make sure to cut them into uniform thickness.
- Use a high-quality olive oil to enhance the flavor of the pineapple and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
- For a spicier chili-lime marinade, adjust the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper according to your preference.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Keep an eye on the pineapple slices while grilling to avoid overcooking. The ideal texture is slightly charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
- To add a refreshing touch, consider sprinkling some freshly chopped cilantro or mint over the grilled pineapple slices before serving.
- For a healthier alternative, opt for Greek yogurt or light sour cream as a topping instead of regular sour cream.
- Feel free to experiment with different variations of the marinade, such as adding honey for a sweeter flavor or chipotle powder for a smoky taste.
