PINEAPPLE CHICKEN TACOS

These Pineapple Chicken Tacos are so good! You basically just throw everything in the pot and let dinner cook itself! The sour cream and sriracha that I put under the lettuce in these tacos are a must! Jalapenos would go great too. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

  • 5-6 Chicken thighs (trim the fat)
  • 2 cups Pineapple diced
  • 1 small Red onion (or half a large red onion)
  • 1 Jalapeno diced
  • 2 Tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 Tbsp Yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp Red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
  • 1 Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

  • Prep your veggies. Dice the pineapple, red onion, and jalapeno.
  • Trim the fat off the chicken thighs and place in the Instant Pot.
  • Put the diced veggies, sriracha, mustard, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic, and salt in the pot and stir it all together.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot in the sealing position.
  • Hit the manual pressure cook button and cook for 20 minutes (25 min if your chicken is frozen).
  • Once the timer goes off, release the steam valve. Take the chicken out and chop or shred it.
  • Strain the juice out of the instant pot through a strainer. Leave some juice in the pot for flavor. (see video)
  • Put everything back in the pot and stir. Serve with tortillas filled with sour cream, sriracha, lettuce and the chicken mixture. I just heat the tortillas on a pan. A must for any taco! It makes a huge difference.
  • Enjoy!
