Ingredients
- 1 cup tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 medium red onion, diced, divided
- 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
- 1 lime, juiced
- 8 (7 inch) tortillas, or more as needed
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 8 dashes Sriracha sauce, or more to taste
Instructions
1
Combine the tomatoes with 1/2 cup of finely diced red onion, pineapple chunks, and chopped cilantro in a medium-sized bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice, along with a pinch of salt and sugar; mix well to combine. Cover the salsa with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours.
2
Next, take the remaining red onion and place it in the bowl of a small food processor. Add the juice of one lime and process until the onion is finely ground, taking around 3 minutes to achieve this.
3
Submerge chicken strips into a shallow dish and spread the finely ground onion mixture evenly over them. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat, approximately 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil the grill surface.
5
Cook the chicken strips until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, taking around 3 to 4 minutes per side. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center to verify that it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the cooked chicken to a plate.
6
Lightly brown the tortillas on the grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain the pineapple salsa.
7
Thinly slice the cooked chicken, cutting against the grain. Arrange tortillas on plates and top them with lettuce, sliced chicken, pineapple salsa, and a drizzle of Sriracha sauce.
