Jerk Chicken Tacos Recipe
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 4 large garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 3 green onions, trimmed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, seeded
- 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs or breasts
- 6-inch corn or flour tortillas, warmed
- Shredded cabbage
- Fresh mango or pineapple salsa
- Chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process to a puree, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed; it will be fairly thick.
- Put the chicken in a zippered plastic bag, add the marinade, turn to coat all over, cover, and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Let the chicken come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Prepare a charcoal grill for medium-high heat.
- Clean and oil the grill grate.
- Alternatively, preheat a stovetop cast-iron grill pan and brush it with oil.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill, turning once, until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Shred or slice the chicken.
- To make tacos, stuff each tortilla with some of the meat and top with cabbage, salsa, and cilantro.
- Serve with the lime wedges on the side.
