A note about serious food allergies

Bright isn't just for lights, colors, and dolls called Rainbow; bright is for flavors that pop, delight, and liven up any meal. These tacos are a festival of lights in and of themselves: sweet pineapple, slightly feisty shishito, and the vivid vivacious lime, the textbook definition of ”bright.“ With all these ingredients coming together, these tacos are both lovely and luminous. Tip: Best way to remove ribs and seeds from a red bell pepper? Cut off top and bottom of pepper, then either carefully cut or tear out the seed portion.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry, and cut into 1” dice. Follow same instructions as diced chicken thighs in Step 3, stirring occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  • If using ground beef, follow same instructions as diced chicken thighs in Step 3, stirring occasionally until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes.

  • If using flank steak, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Follow same instructions as diced chicken thighs in Step 3, stirring occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  • If using Impossible burger, follow same instructions as diced chicken thighs in Step 3, cooking until burger is heated through, 4-6 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Pat pineapple dry and coarsely chop.

    Coarsely chop peanuts.

    Halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice other half.

    Stem, seed, remove ribs, and cut red bell pepper into 1/2" dice.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Stem shishito peppers and slice into 1/2" rounds.

    Pat diced chicken thighs dry. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pineapple-Pepper Salsa

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shishito peppers (to taste) and red bell pepper to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until starting to char, 2-3 minutes.

    Stir in pineapple, then cook undisturbed until pineapple starts to brown and peppers are tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Transfer salsa to a mixing bowl. Let cool, 5 minutes. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.

    Once cool, stir in 2 tsp. lime juice, green portions of green onions, and 1/4 tsp. salt until combined.

    While salsa cools, cook chicken.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Return pan used to cook salsa to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and stir occasionally until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Add white portions of green onions and stir constantly until aromatic, 30-60 seconds.

    Remove from burner and stir in teriyaki glaze and Sriracha (to taste).

    While chicken cooks, warm tortillas.

  4. 4

    Warm the Tortillas

    Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave until warm, 30-60 seconds.

    Alternatively, place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add tortillas, one at a time, to hot, dry pan. Heat undisturbed, 30-45 seconds per side. Remove from pan.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, filling tortillas with chicken, and topping with pineapple-pepper salsa and peanuts. Squeeze lime wedges over tacos to taste. Bon appétit!
