Categories     Tacos

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons jerk seasoning, divided
2 tablespoons lime juice, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple rings, drained
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cabbage
½ small red onion, minced
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning, and 1 tablespoon lime juice together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk olive oil, remaining jerk seasoning, and remaining lime juice together in a separate bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place pineapple slices on the top rack of the grill. Place chicken directly on the grill. Cook for 6 minutes. Flip both pineapple and chicken over and grill until chicken is no longer pink, about 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice the chicken into thin strips and divide between the tortillas. Chop the pineapple and divide between the tortillas.
  • Top each each taco with shredded cabbage, onion, and cilantro. Drizzle each with reserved sauce. Serve immediately.
