Assemble the Tacos: Thinly slice the grilled chicken against the grain. Lay the warmed tortillas out on plates. Fill each tortilla with shredded lettuce, sliced chicken, drained pineapple salsa, and a dash of Sriracha sauce to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of chili powder or cumin to the chicken marinade.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Feel free to customize the toppings! Consider adding avocado slices, crumbled cheese, or a dollop of sour cream.
For a spicier salsa, add a finely chopped jalapeño pepper.
