Nutritional information

This wrap provides protein from the chicken and fiber from the fruit and vegetables. It offers a balance of carbs and healthy fats when served in a wrap. Portion size can be adjusted to fit different needs.

Storage & Reheating

• Fridge: Store components separately for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Freeze cooked jerk chicken (without salsa) for up to 1 month.
• Reheat: Warm chicken in a skillet before assembling wraps.

Cooking Tips and Substitutions

• Use bone-in thighs for deeper flavor, then shred before wrapping.
• Cook chicken over medium heat to avoid burning the seasoning.
• You can use leftover grilled or baked chicken if preferred.
• Cook the chicken first, so it has time to rest before slicing. This keeps it juicy and easier to wrap. (Make the salsa while the chicken is cooking to save time.)
• You can substitute chicken thighs, shrimp, tofu, or tempeh for a lighter version.
• Chill the salsa for at least 10 minutes before serving for the best flavor.
• Add a drizzle of honey for a sweeter jerk glaze
• Warm the wraps before assembling, so they fold without tearing and hold everything in place.
• Swap wraps for lettuce cups for a lighter option.
• Leftovers work well for next-day meals.
• Swap mango for pineapple or peach for a similar sweetness.
• Try spinach or whole wheat tortillas for extra fiber.
