Sometimes a flavor combination sticks in your mind. I’ve been obsessed with pineapple tacos ever since my friend Jill told me a story about her family’s pineapple tacos.
There’s something just divine about teriyaki chicken and sweet pineapple. Add in the experience of mixing all the other classic toppings and eating it as a taco and you have something truly amazing.
Easy homemade teriyaki sauce
My crew usually eats their tacos with hot sauce, but we all enjoyed our tacos with this easy homemade teriyaki sauce. They’re packed with sweet and savory flavor and can be made in just minutes.
If you have never made teriyaki at home, you should definitely give it a try. This is a very simple recipe with a perfect balance of flavors. This sauce is much better than anything bottled and sold on grocery store shelves.

Listen, I know that using pineapple in savory dishes can be divisive. But I have to unapologetically admit that I’m part of Team Pineapple. I love Hawaiian pizza. And I love these pineapple chicken tacos for the same reason.
If you know someone who doesn’t like the combination of pineapple and meat, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. The teriyaki sauce already has a certain sweetness to it, and the pineapple is within the taste range even picky eaters can expect.
When I tried these tacos, I knew I had to develop a pineapple chicken bowl version for myself. It’s not that I don’t like tacos. I like them. i will do it. However, I prefer the rice bowl. I could use more fresh vegetables and there are few vegetables in my life that I wouldn’t want to eat more of.
You can also adapt this recipe using another sauce, like this hoisin teriyaki sauce. It’s a great twist and I think it pairs really well with the pineapple in this recipe.
And if you’re in a hurry for an evening and the crockpot is your best friend, don’t miss these slow cooker chicken tacos with pineapple and creamy coleslaw. Yes, coleslaw. Trust me.

Again, I recommend trying this flavor combination at the end. All of these chicken and pineapple recipes are tried and true. One of them should change your mind.
The grilled chicken sandwich with pineapple is definitely appealing. Slightly spicy grilled chicken topped with melted cheese and sweet pineapple slices. What’s not to love?
When I have a busy night, I always turn to recipes like this chicken stir fry. It features colorful peppers and pineapple and is ready in just minutes. It also has a moderate amount of heat.
We also have this classic teriyaki chicken and pineapple. It’s a simple dish and very delicious. If pineapple is not in season, you can always have these amazing Huli Huli Chicken Bites since we use pineapple juice in place of the fruit.
Also, if you want to try these tacos without the seafood, you can always swap it out for the easy teriyaki sauce linked below. Either way, they’re great!
Warm tortillas, layer with chicken, pineapple, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, and sprinkle with cheese. Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce if desired.
