This recipe was very simple and easy to make. It was absolutely delicious and a great modification to a typical taco recipe. My roommates and I really enjoyed it! It is definitely a keeper!

When I made this for my husband, he immediately balked about it being meatless. Until he tried it. He loved it!

I was pleasantly surprised. I thought this was a pretty healthy recipe that tasted great. I think the chunks of pineapple is what really made this recipe taste great. I definitely will make again in the future.

We liked the taste and ease of this dish. Would be very easy as something to make and then reheat as a quick meal. Don't forget to add lettuce, tomato and sour cream.
