Don’t come at me but when I get asked whether I prefer corn tortillas or flour tortillas I usually say neither…
It’s partly the gluten in flour (not my stomach’s favorite) and partly not being big on corn in general.
SO I go all in on the rice, guac and Dole® Pineapple Mango Marinated Chicken instead.
A tropical, sweet blend of pineapple and mango that invigorates your senses with every bite thanks to the magic of @DoleSunshine ’s newest juice addition!

Dole’s Pineapple Mango Juice is perfect for any sipping occasion, but especially perfect for marinating chicken overnight to be used for loaded taco bowls!
The marinade is crazy delicious and so simple: Dole’s Pineapple Mango juice, taco sauce, and zesty spices.
I let the chicken marinate overnight in a Ziplock bag to make for an effortless process. You could let it marinade for two days if you want even more pineapple mango flavor!
The first step was cutting chicken breasts into cube pieces, which could easily be cut into slices or diced into smaller pieces but think of surface area coverage when it comes down to the marinating process!
The taco sauce is what gives the marinade an extra kick, but if you’re looking to keep it on the smoother side with less heat, feel free to skip out on the taco sauce and stick with the remaining ingredients!
After letting the chicken soak overnight, the cooking process was perfectly simple in the air fryer, 12-15 minutes tossing the pieces around, but this can also be easily done on the stove top with a little olive oil in a skillet.
I added the cooked chicken pieces to a big bowl loaded with my favorite taco flavors! It made for the perfect dinner! So perfect that I ended up making it again the next day.
I’ve officially added this pineapple mango chicken to the home cooking menu until further notice – I am totally addicted to all the flavor!
You can purchase Dole’s Pineapple Mango single serving cans to use for this recipe at your local Safeway, Albertsons, or Jewel Osco.
