Taco Tuesdays just got a whole lot sweeter.

It's hard to go wrong with tacos on family dinner night, and these al pastor chicken tacos offer an unbeatable two-for-one deal: a classic chicken taco recipe, topped with a delicious grilled pineapple salsa!
Pineapple — whether sliced for snacking, cubed for salads, or diced for pizzas (don't judge me!) — is my favorite of all the tropical fruits. And as the featured ingredient in a salsa recipe, it's perfection. The sweetness of the pineapple offsets the salsa's bolder ingredients, such as jalapeño and red onion, creating an amazing mix of flavors.
Pair these tacos with an refreshing mixed drink, a grapefruit lime paloma, for instance, and you have all the makings of a tasty taco night.
