Jerk Chicken and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Assembly

1

Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with jerk seasoning and olive oil. Mix well to coat the chicken and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

3

Prepare the Sesame Slaw

In a separate bowl, mix shredded cabbage, carrots, and sesame oil. Toss until the vegetables are well coated.

4

Make the Spicy Mayo

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lime juice. Mix until smooth and adjust spice level to taste.

5

Assemble the Tacos

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet. Fill each tortilla with slices of jerk chicken, top with sesame slaw, and drizzle with spicy mayo. Serve immediately.
