Add the chopped pork belly back to the griddle with the chorizo.

Step 7

Strain the crushed pineapple and add it to the griddle.

Step 8

Mix everything together and cook for another 4-5 minutes.

Step 9

Step 10

Turn the burner to low and clean the griddle surface.

Step 13

Once the cheese starts to melt, add the chorizo, pork belly, and pineapple filling.
