Yaki Tacos

"The Islands" is a restaurant that serves these tacos. They sound strange, but they are my favorite menu item. I realized they are also really easy to make.

-About a pound of cut up chicken
-Bottled Terryaki sauce (it should have a sweet flavor and be on the thicker side, if you happen to buy one that is not sweet and really salty, add some brown sugar to sweeten it up, and cornstarch to thicken it up)
-shredded Jack cheese
-green, leafy lettuce, cut up in small pieces
-pineapple tidbits
-diced roma tomatoes
-green onions, chopped
-soft taco sized tortillas

1. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan and then cook the chicken until it is nice and golden brown.
2. Add the sauce to the chicken.
3. Warm your tortillas by stovetop (I never learned the proper way to heat tortillas until watching Don's mom. My mom always warmed them up in the microwave. They are much better on the stovetop)
4. Assemble your tacos:
Chicken, lettuce, cheese, pineapple, green onions, tomatoes
5. Eat.
