Yaki Soft Tacos


(Teriyaki Soft Tacos)

I got this from the Top Secrets Cookbook.


Teriyaki Sauce:

1 3/4 C water
1 TB cornstarch
3/4 C light brown sugar
1/2 C soy sauce
1/2 C canned pineapple tidbits
1/4 C juice from can of pineapple
1/2 ts garlic powder
1/4 ts onion powder
2 ts minced fresh ginger


12 chicken tenderloins
Flour tortillas
2 C shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Lettuce, chopped
1 1/2 C canned pineapple tidbits
1 tomato, diced
1/2 C chopped green onion
1. Make teriyaki sauce by whisking cornstarch into the water in a medium sauce pan. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 7 - 10 minutes. Let sauce cool before you use it.

2. Measure out 1 cup of sauce and set aside. Put chicken in a zip-lock bag and add remaining sauce. Allow to marinade overnight or at least 6 hours.

3. When chicken is done marinading, remove from sauce and discard sauce. Saute' chicken in a pan for 8 - 10 minutes. Cut into bite size pieces. Spoon chicken into a bowl and pour 1 cup of sauce (that was set aside) over chicken. Warm in microwave 30 - 60 seconds.

4. Build tacos tortilla, chicken, cheese, 1 TB sauce, lettuce, pineapple, tomatoes, and green onions. Enjoy!
