These Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken Tacos with fresh Mango Salsa require minimal effort but are packed with bursts of flavor and lots of nutrients. They’re easy to keep paleo and can also be made to be Whole30 compliant!
Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken Tacos
These are just as easy as they are delicious. The chicken is cooked in a slow cooker and the Mango Salsa takes maybe five minutes to throw together. As for the tortillas, I like to use Siete brand or, when I have a little extra time, I like to make cassava flour tortillas using the recipe on the back of the Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour bag. Both are great options as they are delicious while being made with simple, clean ingredients. You can also save some money on Otto’s products by using my code “kaylaskitchandfix” on their website!
Everything you see here is made from Whole30 compliant ingredients, but if you’re on an official W30 round, just skip the tortilla and sub in a lettuce wrap (or even just dig in with a fork!). I’ve eaten it both with a tortilla and without and both ways are delicious!

If you’re not on Whole30 or following a strict paleo diet, this chicken pairs deliciously with a side of my Copycat Chipotle Cilantro and Lime Rice!
These tacos are also delicious when paired with my Creamy Whole30 Coleslaw (which can be found in the linked recipe post) and my classic Mango Salsa (which can be found below)!
