Taco night is always popular at our house. We love making tacos for dinner. It is always fun to change up the traditional taco with a new and creative recipe. Josh’s Grilled BBQ and Chicken Pineapple Tacos are full of fresh and fun ingredients!
First, he grills up some BBQ chicken and fresh pineapple. If you haven’t experienced grilled pineapple, you are missing out! It is so good and the perfect addition to Josh’s summer tacos.
Josh used Old El Paso’s Stand ‘n Stuff Soft Tortilla Shells to make the tacos. We love these hand held taco shells. All of the taco toppings fit nicely inside!
Josh stuffed the taco shells with grilled BBQ chicken, grilled pineapple, bacon, red cabbage, cheese, and jalapeño slices. He left the jalapeño slices off of Caleb’s taco. Caleb isn’t ready for spicy yet:)
Josh has a new favorite taco! He LOVED his Grilled BBQ Chicken and Pineapple Tacos! Caleb did too…he takes after his dad. He loves BBQ chicken and bacon!

Grilled BBQ Chicken and Pineapple Tacos are loaded with flavor and the perfect taco for grilling season!
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 8 oz)
- 1 cup BBQ Sauce
- 1 ripe medium pineapple, cut into spears
- 6 strips cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- 2 jalapeños, sliced
- 1 cup chopped purple cabbage
- 6 Old El Paso Stand 'n Stuff Soft Taco Shells
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken on grill. Grill chicken, without turning, for about 6 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Flip and grill until cooked through, or a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of meat registers 160 degrees, about 6 to 10 minutes more.
3. While the chicken is grilling, grill the pineapple. Place the pineapple spears on the grill and turn them every few minutes until all sides are grilled and pineapple is tender.
4. Remove chicken and pineapple from grill. Let cool to room temperature. Chop the chicken and pineapple into bite size pieces.
5. 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.
