- 1 jalapeño
- 2 limes

Heat bbq or stove on high heat
Cut pineapple into 1 inch thick slices
(I cut the core out later so I have larger pieces to cook with)
Cut onion in half
Cut jalapeño in half
Place (ingredients above) on a hot grill or can substitute for griddle pan on the stove
Sear the ingredients for 2 min each side
Remove from heat and allow time to cool (fridge or freezer help them to cook faster)
When cooled,
Cut the core out of the pineapple and dice it into quarter inch cubes
Dice the onion
And the jalapeño
Add these to a bowl with the remaining ingredients mix and serve!
