Prep Work - This would have been a lot of fun with someone helping me...
Quarter and seed your roma tomatoes, otherwise the salsa will have too much water in it. I used three. |
Shred cheese and cube chicken (boring I know) |
Slice up zucchini, mushrooms, some green peppers, some hot peppers and onions. |
Chop up red onions, green onions, cilantro, and some hot pepper to be ready for your pineapple salsa. Also some olives. |
Chop up some pineapple. |
Heat your pan with olive oil and butter in it. |
Wait until it's bubbling. |
Add your pineapple. |
Cook until browning and getting soft. |
Mix it in with the rest of the ingredients - set aside. I also added some red pepper flakes later to add a dash of red color. |
Throw in your chicken cubes. |
Loosen the browning bottom with wine or chicken broth |
Take out your chicken. |
Clean the bottom again with some chicken broth, water, or wine. |
Add all your veggies. |
Add a little more olive if needed to help them soften up. |
Add your favorite spicy spices -I used cumin, paprika, cayenne, chili powder, and salt and pepper |
Mix it all up. |
Cook until onions and mushrooms are getting soft. |
We have all our stuff |
I know this mexican food looks cheesy on this plate - But all my plates are in storage... so :(... Sprinkle the cheese on the tortilla. |
Add all your filling |
Little more cheese - it acts as the glue to hold it together. |
Get it all toasty brown. |
Cut it up how your like. |
Make it look all nice with your toppings. |
This is Derek's revision of it after I gave it to him. |
