ingredients for Blackstone Cheesy Chorizo Chicken and Pineapple

Preheat your Blackstone or flat top griddle to medium heat.

Add some cooking oil of choice, the chicken, kosher salt, pepper, and your favorite taco or fajita seasoning blend.

I couldn’t decide which of these to use so I used all three 🙂

I didn’t measure, just kind of seasoned with my heart.

Also add the pineapple and chorizo.

Cook this for about 8 to 10 minutes, mixing with spatulas a few times.

I warmed my queso right on the griddle in a clean grease tray liner.

I microwaved a few pouches of cilantro lime rice, but you could use the Mexican style rice too.

Then topped the rice with plenty of chicken, pineapple, and chorizo and of course lots of cheesy queso.
