Grilled Jerk Chicken Tacos
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning, divided
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple rings, drained
  • 8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 small red onion, minced
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Combine mayonnaise, jerk seasoning, and lime juice in a small bowl. Set the mixture aside momentarily.
2
In another container, whisk together olive oil, remaining jerk seasoning, and remaining lime juice. Add the chicken to this mixture and stir until it is evenly coated.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat and lightly brush the grill's surface with oil to prevent sticking.
4
Arrange pineapple slices on the top rack of the grill, followed by placing the chicken directly onto the grill. Grill for 6 minutes before flipping both pineapple and chicken over to continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately another 6 minutes.
5
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
6
Divide the chicken slices among the tortillas, along with a portion of chopped pineapple.
7
To assemble each taco, place shredded cabbage, onion, and cilantro on top of the chicken. Drizzle with the reserved sauce before serving immediately.
