📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat grill to medium-high.
2
Place chicken in a Ziploc bag and pound out slightly to flatten to a uniform thickness. Sprinkle some salt, pepper, and a touch of cayenne on each chicken breast.
3
Coat grill grates with nonstick spray or oil. Place pineapple and chicken on grill; cook pineapple for ⏱️ 2 minutes per side and the chicken for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes per side, or until juices run clear and an internal temperature is 165 degrees (basting with 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce once you flip.)
4
Transfer to a cutting board and once cool to the touch, roughly chop up the chicken and pineapple.
5
To assemble, butter one side of each flour tortilla. On the non-buttered side, evenly sprinkle with the cheese, chicken, pineapple, and jalapeno. Drizzle with the remaining barbecue sauce and top with a little more cheese. Place another tortilla on top, buttered side up.
