For our fajitas, I combine chicken and pineapple for a different flavor. These fajitas are more on the sweet side, but my family loves them! —Nancy Heishman, Las Vegas, Nevada


Test Kitchen tips
  • If you love pineapple, add even more as a topping or serve with a fruit salsa like peach or pineapple salsa.
  • If you don’t have coconut oil on hand, substitute with canola or vegetable oil.
