Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 1 TBS jerk seasoning
  • 1 tsp Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 2 TBS fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 TBS fresh lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken thighs with olive oil, jerk seasoning, and Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend. Let it marinate 15 minutes—flavor's gotta soak in like a wiseguy’s charm.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place marinated chicken on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
  3. Roast chicken for 20-25 minutes until internal temp hits 165°F and juices run clear. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thin—precision’s key here, like a sharp suit.
  4. While chicken roasts, make pineapple salsa: combine pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt to taste. Keep it fresh and punchy.
  5. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 30 seconds per side, until pliable and lightly charred.
  6. Assemble tacos: layer sliced jerk chicken, pineapple salsa, avocado slices, and shredded cabbage on each tortilla. Boom—flavor city, baby.
  7. Serve immediately and watch 'em disappear faster than a made guy at a family dinner.

Tony’s Fine Print

They tell me every recipe needs a little fine print, so here’s mine. I do my best to keep things straight, no surprises and no sneaky allergens. The info you see here is put together with care, capisce? But kitchens are wild places and ingredients do not always behave. Always double-check the labels on what you buy, especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. If something does not look right, trust your gut (and your doctor) before you trust me. Bottom line: I am here to guide, not to diagnose. You cook, you taste, you take responsibility.

Deal? Good. Now let’s eat.
