I have been on a major grilled pineapple kick lately. Like, mayjah.

Guacamole, burgers, margaritas, and of course – those nachos.

The other two people in this house are not so… passionate about grilled pineapple. There have been eyerolls and little remarks and sighs.

Nor are they passionate about taking the contents of 5 leftover bowls from the fridge and making… that.

But those other two people in this house didn’t complain one bit about dinner last night.

The Internet’s favorite queso serves as the cheesy nacho base, which I then topped with leftover chicken tossed with barbecue sauce, grilled pineapple, thinly sliced red onion, weapons-grade-hot chopped jalapeno (but only on half – Thank, God!) and cilantro.

OF COURSE THEY DIDN’T COMPLAIN.
