Why We Love It
This dish is all about the marinade. Taking just a few minutes to combine the savory, spicy ingredients and then giving the chicken time to absorb the flavoring is what gives these tacos such complexity.
While the filling is the star of these tacos, we love the freshness the suggested accompaniments bring to the finished product. Layering sour cream, avocado, and shredded or diced vegetables into your tortillas perfectly balances the notable kick of this flavorful jerk chicken tacos recipe.
Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Minced Garlic, Lee Kum Kee Cooking Soy Sauce, Jerk seasoning, and lime juice. Mix well. Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Tacos: Warm the tortillas for this recipe in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. Assemble the tacos by placing a few strips of jerk chicken on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Add any optional toppings like sliced avocado, sour cream, or Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce if desired. Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
