Preparation

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add diced onion and minced garlic; sauté until onion is translucent.
Add ground turkey to the skillet; cook until browned.
Stir in pineapple chunks, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Assembly

These tacos can be served with a side of Mexican rice or black beans. Customize with toppings like avocado, salsa, or shredded cheese. Leftover filling can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and the tortillas should be enjoyed fresh.
