Step By Step

Instructions

1
Coat the Chicken Thighs evenly with Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning, ensuring each piece is well covered. Let marinate while you preheat your grill or cooking surface, about 10-15 minutes.
2
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400ºF). Add the chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until charred on the outside and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest the chicken for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
3
While the chicken rests, warm the tortillas on the grill or other cooking surface for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.
4
Divide the jerk chicken strips among the warmed tortillas. Top each taco with diced pineapple, red onion, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
