I am a huge fan of products that are amazing on their own as well as fantastic in a recipe, like these Hawaiian BBQ Street Tacos with Pineapple Ginger Slaw. I recently discovered Angelo Pietro Dressings which combine Japanese flavors with traditional Italian vinaigrettes. And y’all, I am OBSESSED!
They currently have four flavors: Original, Lemon, Sesame & Miso, and Ginger. I have them all stocked in my pantry and use them not just for salads, but also marinades and as an addition to other recipes.
After trying the Ginger Dressing, I was immediately inspired to create these Hawaiian BBQ Street Tacos with Pineapple Ginger Slaw. The dressing is used in both the marinade for the chicken and the slaw dressing.
There are two things in life that I will never tire of… That is tacos and pizza! I love giving tacos a fun twist. The food truck movement in Hawaii is so deliciously amazing and grew up in Hawaii on the local Hawaiian BBQ flavors that mix cultures of Asian, Hawaiian, American, and Polynesian into a unique cuisine. I would say I miss the beach and the food a LOT!
The key to all Hawaiian BBQ and this recipe as well, is to marinate the meat in the marinade for at least 12 hours. 24 is even better! This allows the marinade to seep deep into the meat and create the delicious layers of flavor.
I recommend grilling the chicken to add the smoky and slightly charred flavors to these tacos, but if you are not able to use a grill, you can absolutely grill them on the stove or even cook them in a slow cooker.
The Pineapple Ginger Slaw is officially my new favorite slaw recipe! I will be trying this on pulled pork BBQ very soon! It is a simple combination of Angelo Pietro Ginger Dressing, mayo and pineapple. Fresh or canned pineapple will work with this recipe. I used canned because I couldn’t find a good pineapple at my grocery store.
