Get adventurous with an easy weeknight meal of tantalizing jerk Chicken Tacos! These super fresh, citrus forward, juicy, tangy and spicy chicken tacos with sweet grilled pineapple, paper thin onion slices, and herbs are most assuredly NOT your average taco and they are so, so good.

Not only are they temptingly delicious, but they’re pretty darned accommodating, too. You can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours before cooking it.

If that isn’t enough, you can cook it up to 2 days ahead of when you want to serve it, then reheat it and slice right before taco time! And even better, the chicken can be cooked in a myriad of ways.

Whether you want to grill, oven-bake, stove-top cook, or air-fry, I’ve got your instructions right here. No matter which way you cook it, you’re going to be blown away by how much flavour you pack into a jerk chicken taco with so little effort.

Are these spicy? Well, that depends!

If you choose a bottled marinade or make a marinade that’s milder, you’ll end up with milder jerk chicken tacos. If you pick one that’s flamin’ hot, your jerk chicken tacos will also be incendiary.

Jerk Chicken Taco

You have to try this jerk chicken taco recipe to believe how wonderful it is, so let’s get straight to our ingredient and equipment list.

1. Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
2. Jerk Marinade
3. Pineapple Rings in Juice
4. Brown Sugar
5. Small Flour or Corn Tortillas
6. Whole Lettuce Leaves
7. Red Onion
8. Bell Pepper
9. Cilantro Leaves
10. Fresh Lime wedges
11. Sauce or Mango Salsa

I absolutely, positively, 100% plump for boneless skinless chicken THIGHS in our Jamaican jerk chicken tacos because they’re so forgiving to cook. If you’re categorically opposed to chicken thighs you can substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts but you’ll need to adjust the cooking time.

Jerk Marinade is one of those ingredients that while easy to make requires sourcing a variety of ingredients from scotch bonnet peppers to allspice berries to herbs, scallions, and so forth and making a paste. I have a great jerk marinade recipe here on this jerk chicken bites recipe.

If that’s a little too time consuming or daunting for you, you can use one of my favourite short-cuts and grab a bottle of jerk chicken marinade at the store or on Amazon.com. Feel free to choose mild, medium, or flamin’ hot jerk marinade as the spirit moves you.

The pineapple rings bring a bright, sweet, tangy something special to our jerk chicken taco when sprinkled with a little brown sugar and grilled or pan fried quickly to caramelize the sugar.

That touch of caramelized pineapple plays so nicely with the spicy, herbal, citrusy jerk chicken. And let’s talk tortillas, shall we?

I use small soft, pliable, flour tortillas for our jerk chicken tacos but corn tortillas are also good if you like them or need to eat gluten-free. I prefer to char each tortilla briefly over an open flame using tongs.

How to Warm Tortillas

Charring the tortillas both heats them and adds a little extra flavour to the party. If you don’t have an open flame handy, you can dry heat them quickly in a cast-iron skillet or wrap a stack of tortillas in a damp towel and microwave them.

You can go with a jerk crema for sauce (basically mayonnaise or sour cream thinned with a little fresh lime juice with a sprinkle of dry Jamaican jerk seasoning in it), chick-fil-a sauce, or even a creamy salad dressing if you like it. Or you can forego that and add a dollop of fresh mango salsa!

And here’s where the magic happens. Fresh lettuce leaves stacked on the tortillas are piled high with the juicy jerk chicken, grilled pineapple slices, diced bell peppers, thinly sliced onions, a drizzle of sauce or spoonful of mango salsa.

Air Fryer Jerk Chicken or Grilled Jerk Chicken

That’s all it takes to make your Taco Tuesday (or any meal-time) extraordinary! So what equipment do you need to make these delectable chicken tacos?

1. Air Fryer or Grill or Oven
2. Skillet or Baking Dish
3. Tongs
4. Zipper Top Bag (or Bowl or Airtight Container)
5. Chef Knife
6. Cutting Board
7. Foil or Paper Towels or Tea Towel

You can make these tacos, as mentioned before, in an air fryer, grill, oven, or on the stove-top. It is one of the most accommodating recipes ever!

To cook the pineapple, I recommend using a grill pan, skillet, or a grill. And tongs are indispensable for not just the chicken, but also the pineapple slices and the tortillas.

It’s an easy recipe and I’m not going to complicate it by over-explaining. Any which way you make these will be divine.

Jerk Chicken Tacos

Toss the chicken pieces and jerk sauce together in a zipper top bag, container with a tight fitting lid, or bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours but up to 24 hours.

To Make Air Fryer Jerk Chicken:

Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF. Arrange chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken thigh measures 165ºF in the thickest part.

To Make Stove Top Jerk Chicken:

Place a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush generously with vegetable oil. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the pan. Cook for 12-14 minutes, flipping over halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken thigh measures 165ºF in the thickest part.

To Make Grilled Jerk Chicken:

Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350ºF to 400ºF). Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the cleaned and oiled grill grates. Grill about 4 to 6 minutes per side, flipping once halfway through the cooking time, or until the chicken thigh measures 165ºF in the thickest part.

To Make Oven Jerk Chicken:

Preheat your oven to 425ºF and brush a baking pan generously with vegetable oil. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the pan. Cook for about 20 minutes, flipping over halfway through the cooking time, until the chicken thigh measures 165ºF in the thickest part.

To Make the Jerk Chicken Tacos:

Drain the pineapple slices and pat them dry with a towel or paper towels. Sprinkle half of the brown sugar over the tops of the pineapple slices.

Place a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium high heat and brush generously with neutral oil. Arrange the pineapple slices sugar side down on the pan and cook without moving them until they become fragrant and start browning a bit on the bottom, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the tops of the pineapple slices, flip them over gently, and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the underside is browning, sticky, and fragrant.

Char or warm tortillas over an open flame, wrapping them in foil to keep pliable until all are charred or stack and wrap them in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds.

Slice the jerk chicken and hold in a bowl with any cooking juices. Assemble the tacos as follows:

Lay a leaf of lettuce on a charred tortilla, top with a generous amount of jerk chicken followed by thinly sliced onion, diced bell peppers, a sprinkle of cilantro or parsley, a squeeze of lime juice, and a drizzle of mayonnaise thinned with lime juice or chick-fil-a sauce or even ranch dressing if you love it.

If you have some, a little fresh mango salsa on top is delightful, too!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top organic vegetables?

Organic vegetables are the most nutritious and healthy food source for humans. They are the healthiest of all foods.

Organic produce is organically grown without pesticides. These chemicals pose severe risks to our health and environment.

Organic produce is also richer in nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are healthier as we absorb nutrients more easily when we eat organics.

Organic vegetables are delicious and safe to eat. Organic produce does not have side effects.

All grocery stores can carry organic produce. Organic produce can be found at any grocery store as long as it is produced in accordance with USDA guidelines. This means that they must meet the standards established by the United States Department of Agriculture.

What is an organic food manufacturer?

Organic food producers use organic methods to grow their products. These foods include fruits as well vegetables, grains and dairy products.

Organic food production occurs on farms that have their crops grown naturally. This includes crop rotation, soil preparation, and pest control.

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), must set strict criteria for organic agricultural products.

These guidelines are designed to ensure consumers have access to safe, healthy and nutritious food.

Organic foods offer many health benefits. They are free from heavy metal contamination and pesticide residues. They also have higher nutritional content and better taste.

USDA Certified Organic products must be labeled with the seal "USDA certified organic".

This certification signifies that the product meets all standards set by the National Organic Program.

Organic food can help us eat better and protect our environment.

Organic farming methods help conserve natural resources like water and land. In addition, organic methods reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which cause climate change.

Organic agriculture uses fewer chemicals and reduces pollution runoff.

Because harmful gases such as ammonia or nitrates are less likely in the atmosphere, it also improves air quality.

There are many types to organic farming.

Conventional farming is the use of synthetic inputs like pesticides or fertilizers.

Regenerative farming includes compost, cover crops, as well as green manures that improve soil health. It promotes biodiversity.

Agroecology promotes healthy relationships between humans and plants.

Permaculture encourages self-sufficiency by creating systems that are similar to nature.

What is organic beef?

Organic meat refers to real food grown without the use artificial fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. This also means that animals weren't given any genetically modified feed. Because there are no harmful chemicals in the meat, it is safe for human consumption.

Organic meats are also better for our environment. When we eat organic foods, we reduce the pollution in landfills, rivers, lakes, etc. Organic farmers don't use harmful chemicals to kill birds and insects, which helps wildlife.

It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often pass along savings to customers when shopping locally. Local businesses are more likely to keep jobs here than export them abroad.

How do I know if my produce is organic?

If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:

USDA Organic Certified- This product has been certified organic by the USDA.

Certified Naturally Grown - Produce that has passed strict requirements for organic practices but has not yet received certification from the USDA.

Pastured/Free-range - Made from animals that graze on grass and herbs outdoors.

These labels are used to indicate that the product meets specified criteria.

• No pesticides nor synthetic fertilizers
• There are no genetically modified organisms
• No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
• The animal is never given any hormones
• No growth-promoting drug
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• No sewage solids

• Antibiotics have never been administered
• No hormones ever given
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients

What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products

USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.

When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants, which means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'

Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.

Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.

To find out the percent of the feed the animals received when you purchase other types livestock, be sure to read the labels. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

Is organic produce healthy?

There are two types: foods that we grow and those that we purchase from others. Of course, there are exceptions to both categories, but for the most part, the answer to your question is yes. Organic food is healthier as it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals or pesticides, herbicides and preservatives.

You can find organic foods in supermarkets across North America. Organic food is now available in most grocery stores, making it easier to find organic foods.

Organic food is also better tasting and more nutritious because it contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Organics are grown without using pesticides and fertilizers. They also don't pollute soil or water.

The USDA regulates organic farming practices. They require farmers to follow strict guidelines so that organic produce can be eaten safely. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.

Organic food is often cheaper than traditional food. The same amount of nutrients, calories, and protein is being offered by organic food, but consumers are often paying less. Organic farms can charge less for their crop because they aren’t required to buy expensive chemical inputs.

According to the Environmental Working Group organic food is 10 percent cheaper per pound than conventionally manufactured food. Consider switching to organic foods if you are concerned about your health and the well-being of your family.

Organic food is becoming a popular option to the standard American diet. While many believe organic food can only come from specialty markets and fine dining restaurants, it is not true. You can easily purchase organic food in regular grocery stores throughout the United States.

The sales of organic food have increased dramatically in recent years. The market value of organic food in the US was $43 billion in 2012, up from $21 billion in 2007.

Statistics

• Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
• Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
• According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)
• As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)

How To

Are there any negatives to buying organic goods?

The benefits of organic food are well known. There are some downsides to organic food. There are also higher consumer prices and lower quality standards.

It's okay to want more variety in grocery shopping. However, we have been taught to expect poor quality food. This is why grocery stores are stocked with the same prepackaged products.

Organic food is becoming more and more popular due to its superior nutrition and delicious taste. How can you convince people to pay a little more?

You could also tell them organic food is more expensive. Organic food tastes better, but that doesn't make it any less expensive. It might even make them suspicious of your motives.

Instead, it would be best if you highlighted its advantages. Organic food is richer in nutrients and contains fewer pesticides and antibiotics. Organic food is also grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or herbicides. This makes it healthier for our bodies and the environment.

Many people avoid organic food because they assume it's too expensive. If they take into account the health benefits, however, they might decide that spending a few extra dollars per week is worthwhile.

Organic food tastes great because it is made according to strict guidelines. Organic food tends to have more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients.

Organic food is also better for you because it's picked later. This makes organic food fresher and easier for you to digest.
