Instructions

Marinate the chicken by mixing the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and lime juice in a bowl. Coat the chicken thighs in this mixture and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 7–10 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked.
Prepare the pineapple salsa by mixing the cubed pineapple, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and lime juice in a separate bowl while the chicken cooks.
Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Warm the tortillas briefly before assembling each taco with sliced chicken and pineapple salsa. Add optional toppings like jalapeño and avocado as desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate longer, even overnight if possible. Fresh pineapple works best for taste.
