Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and chopped into chunks

1 can (14 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 red onion, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chipotle powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn tortillas

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

      Prepare the Sheet Pan: On a large sheet pan, spread out the marinated chicken, chopped pineapple, black beans, red bell pepper, and red onion evenly.

        Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C) and the vegetables are tender.

          Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is baking, wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and place them in the oven during the last 5-10 minutes to warm them up.

            Assemble Tacos: Once everything is cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.

              Build the Tacos: On each warm tortilla, layer the chicken, pineapple, black beans, and roasted veggies.

                Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro and squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos before serving. Enjoy your vibrant and flavorful tacos!
