• 2 tbsp olive oil
  
• 1 ½ tbsp Cabin Fever spice blend
  
• Juice of 1 orange

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken
   
   In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, Cabin Fever spice blend, orange juice, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate at least 20 minutes (up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
   
2. Cook the Chicken
   
   Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until charred and fully cooked (165°F / 74°C internal temperature). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
   
3. Assemble Tacos
   
   Warm tortillas, then fill with sliced chicken, lettuce/cabbage, pineapple (if using), cheese, and cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime over top.
   
4. Serve & Enjoy
   
   Pair with a citrusy salsa or avocado crema to balance the smoky, tangy heat.
