Chicken Al Pastor Tacos
with Pineapple Salsa and Cilantro-Lime Rice
A twist on traditional Al Pastor, which usually features pork with pineapple, roasted on a rotisserie! Today, we're trading pork for tender chicken but keeping the pineapple. Let your broiler do all the work.

Cooking Steps
- Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16-18 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
- Quarter tomatoes.
- Cut pineapple into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Core, then finely chop jalapeño. (TIP: We recommend using gloves when prepping jalapeño.)
- Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Add half the pineapple to the prepared sheet. Reserve remaining pineapple for salsa.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1-inch pieces on a separate cutting board.
- Add chicken, Mexican Seasoning and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the sheet with pineapple. Season with pepper, then toss to coat.
- Arrange in a single layer.
- Broil in the middle of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 8-12 min.**
- Meanwhile, add tomatoes, half the cilantro, remaining pineapple, as much jalapeno as desired, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- To another medium bowl, add cabbage, remaining lime juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Combine sour cream and half the lime zest in a small bowl.
- Just before serving, wrap tortillas in paper towels. Microwave until tortillas are warm and flexible, 30 sec-1 min. (TIP: You can skip this step if you don't want to warm the tortillas!)
- Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, remaining lime zest and remaining cilantro.
- Divide tortillas between plates.
- Top tortillas with cabbage, some rice, chicken, roasted pineapple, crema and any remaining jalapeños, if desired.
- Serve salsa and remaining rice alongside.
- Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.
