  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped Canned pineapple can be used for convenience.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken.
Cooking

  2. Toss in the chopped pineapple and stir. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  2. Spoon the chicken and pineapple mixture onto each tortilla.
  3. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

Feel free to swap chicken for shrimp or tofu. Adding jalapeño can enhance the heat. For storage, keep in an airtight container; reheats well in a skillet. Can also be frozen for quick dinners.
