Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store leftover chicken and pineapples in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through. Tortillas are best enjoyed fresh, but additional tortillas can be warmed as needed.
Variations:
- Swap chicken thighs for chicken breasts for a leaner option.
- Add diced jalapeños for extra heat.
- Use shrimp instead of chicken for a seafood twist.
- Substitute the pineapple with mango for a tropical flavor.
- Top with avocado slices or guacamole for creaminess.
