With the help of a knife, hollow out the pineapple by cutting a grid in the center, gradually removing the pulp cubes with a spoon and set aside. In a bowl, mix the cubed chicken with garlic powder, chili flakes, cumin, cinnamon, cilantro, salt, pepper, and olive oil until fully incorporated. Let it rest for 10 minutes. In a hot skillet, fry the chicken over medium heat until golden. Lower the heat and cook for another 15 minutes. Set aside. Place the chicken in a large bowl along with the cooked beans, red onion, red pepper, celery, cubed pineapple pulp, mint, cilantro, and lime juice; mix until incorporated. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and set aside. Place the Eva® Italian lettuce leaves on the hollowed-out pineapple, add the mixture, and decorate with mint leaves. Enjoy!
