Marinade:
  • 1/3 cup pineapple juice (saved from a can of diced pineapple)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Fajitas:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breast
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 can (20 oz) diced pineapple, drained
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • Toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, sliced jalapeños, salsa, lime wedge, etc.
Preparation
  1. For the marinade, place uncooked chicken in a shallow baking dish. Whisk all the ingredients for the marinade together in a small bowl and pour on top of the chicken. Cover and set in the fridge to marinate for 2-6 hours.
  2. After the chicken is done marinating, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a cast-iron skillet. Add marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside to cool.
  3. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat on high. Stir in onion, pepper, and pineapple, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Slice the chicken breast and add it back into the skillet, stirring to combine.
  4. While the chicken and veggie mix is cooking, heat up a separate skillet and add the tortillas, toasting a bit on each side to warm them up.
  5. Assembly: Top each warmed tortilla with the chicken fajita mixture and garnish with sour cream, salsa, cheese, jalapeños, lime wedge, etc.
