Ingredients

For the fajitas:

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
  • 3 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins halved lengthwise
  • 1 large red or sweet onion halved and sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large green bell pepper cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 tablespoon jalapeño pepper seeded, minced
  • 2 (8-ounce) cans unsweetened pineapple tidbits drained
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas warmed

Optional toppings:

  • pico de gallo to taste
  • sour cream to taste
  • Mexican cheese blend to taste, shredded
  • avocado to taste, sliced
  • lime wedges to taste

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Grease two 15x10x1-inch rimmed baking sheets.
  • In a large bowl, mix the coconut oil, the chili powder, the ground cumin, the garlic powder, and the kosher salt.
  • Stir the chicken into the spice mixture.
  • Add the onion, the red bell pepper, the green bell pepper, the jalapeño, the pineapple, the honey, and the lime juice to the chicken mixture and toss to combine.
  • Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheets.
  • Roast the fajita mixture for 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through cooking.
  • Transfer the baking sheets from the oven and preheat the broiler.
  • Broil the fajita mixture, one pan at a time, 3-4 inches from the heat source until the vegetables are lightly browned and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Place the fajita mixture into the warmed tortillas. Top with the pico de gallo, the sour cream, the cheese, and the avocado, and garnish with the lime wedges.
  • Serve.
