Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 cup pineapple, diced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
1/3 cup seedless cucumber, minced
1/3 cup minced red onion
3 tbsp chopped cilantro or 3 tbsp parsley
1 1/2 tbsp minced jalapeno peppers
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 dash salt
1 dash hot sauce
4 taco shells
julienned lettuce
grated cheddar cheese
sour cream

Directions:

Combine the chicken, lemon juice, chili powder, cumin and oregano in a small bowl.
Make sure the spices mix into all the chicken. Cover and place in refrigerator until ready to assemble your tacos.
Make Pineapple-Jalapeño Salsa: Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl.
Note: I cut the cherry tomatoes in half and give them a gentle squeeze to get rid of excess juice and seeds, then chop them up.
Assemble Tacos: Fill the taco shells with chicken and salsa. Top with your favourite taco fixings.
Lean over plate. Take a big bite. Doesn't that taste good?
