Description
A flavorful and spicy dish combining jerk chicken with fresh mango salsa, wrapped in a soft tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the chicken thighs with jerk seasoning until well coated. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- In a separate bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the mango salsa. Mix well and set aside.
- To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of cooked rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, 1/4 cup of corn, and a portion of the sliced jerk chicken. Top with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese and a spoonful of mango salsa.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- If desired, heat a skillet over medium heat and place the burritos seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with grilled vegetables or tofu marinated in jerk seasoning.
- Add sliced avocado or sour cream for extra creaminess and flavor in the burritos.
