Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons Cajun spice mix
½ pineapple, sliced into long, flat strips
1 red bell pepper, sliced into long strips
4 large tortillas
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
¾ cup barbecue sauce
¼ cup cilantro, plus extra for serving
½ cup sour cream
1 lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Slice the chicken breasts in half.
Coat the chicken breasts in 1 tablespoon olive oil and the Cajun seasoning.
Coat the pineapple and red pepper in 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Preheat a griddle pan or grill to a medium-high heat.
Place the chicken breasts onto the pan, grilling on one side for 3 to 4 minutes.
Flip the chicken, grilling for another 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Place the pineapple on the pan and grill for 3 minutes on one side.
Flip the pineapple and grill for another 3 minutes, then remove from the pan.
Add the red pepper to the griddle pan and grill for 3 minutes.
Flip and grill on the other side for another 3 minutes then remove from the pan.
Shred or slice the chicken.
Dice the pineapple and the red pepper.
Heat a splash of oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add a tortilla to the pan, top with cheddar cheese, chicken, pineapple, red pepper, barbecue sauce, and cilantro.
Top with another tortilla.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, checking regularly until the tortilla is browning and crisp.
Carefully place a plate over the tortilla, and flip the pan upside down to remove the tortilla.
Slide it gently back into the pan to cook the other side.
Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the base is browned, then remove from the pan.
Serve immediately, with sour cream, lime wedges, and more cilantro as desired.
