1 (16 oz) can pineapples tidbits, drained

1 (12.5 oz) can chicken or any chicken you like to equal about 1 1/2 cups

4 – 8 tablespoons water

2 – 4 tablespoons taco seasoning

juice of 2 limes

4 -8 (8 – 10″) tortillas

1 – 2 cups shredded cheese – Monterey Jack, Cheddar or Mozzarella

1  Preheat oven to 500 or to broil.

2  Heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium high heat.  Add onions and peppers and cook for 4 – 5 minutes until softened.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add pineapple and cook 2 – 3 minutes until slightly caramelized.  Remove mixture from pan.

3 Add chicken, water, and taco seasoning to skillet.  Warm over medium heat, about 3 – 5 minutes.  Return pineapple mixture to pan and squeeze lime juice over it.
