Stir the entire mixture. Add the package of taco seasoning mixing until well coated. Turn the burner off and add the tomato and pineapple to mixture and stir well. In the other skillet, heat one teaspoon of olive oil and add one tortilla. While heating, sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese (more if desired) over the entire surface of tortilla.
