Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken thighs with jerk seasoning, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Island Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Fry the Plantains

    Slice the sweet plantains diagonally. Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat, and fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burrito

    Warm the flour tortillas. On each tortilla, layer sliced jerk chicken, shredded purple cabbage, cooked rice, cooked peas, and fried plantains. Drizzle with island aioli.

  6. 6

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Cut in half and serve immediately.
