Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 8 oz
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce
  • 1 ripe medium pineapple cut into spears

  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 2 jalapeños sliced

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts and BBQ sauce in a large Ziploc bag. Make sure the BBQ sauce is coating the chicken. Let sit for 15 minutes.

  • Remove chicken and pineapple from grill. Let cool to room temperature. Chop the chicken and pineapple into bite size pieces.
  • Place chicken, pineapple, bacon, cheese, jalapeño slices, and cabbage into Stand 'n Stuff Soft Taco Shells. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
