Homemade tropical fruit salsa gives a sweet-and spicy finish to these delicious chicken tacos. Leave out the jalapeno if you prefer your salsa on the mild side. Though we used chicken breast from a store-bought rotisserie chicken, you can cook your own chicken if you prefer. Swap in your favorite corn tortillas for a gluten-free spin on these tacos. Or you can skip the tortillas altogether and serve the chicken filling and salsa in lettuce cups. For a tasty additional topping, combine a little plain nonfat yogurt with lime zest and juice, cilantro, and black pepper.
