Cooking Steps
• Drain pineapple slices. Thinly slice spring onion. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook pineapple slices until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes each side. • Remove pineapple from pan and roughly chop. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• To the bowl with the pineapple, add Greek-style yoghurt and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • Add slaw mix and spring onion, then toss to coat.
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the slaw!
• In a second medium bowl, combine mild Caribbean jerk seasoning with a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken, tossing to coat. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken and pre-chopped onion, tossing, until chicken is browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 4-5 minutes.
Little cooks: Help toss the chicken in the marinade. Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards!
• Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate for 10 second bursts, until warmed through. • Spread a thin layer of BBQ mayo over each tortilla. Fill with pineapple slaw and Caribbean-spiced chicken. Garnish with spring onion to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Show them how it's done and help build the tacos!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: The Caribbean jerk seasoning and charred pineapple were widely praised, though some found the overall flavour combination clashing or too mild. The Greek yoghurt and white wine vinegar slaw dressing divided opinion — many found it too tart or overpowering, while a handful genuinely enjoyed it.
- Ease of prep: This is a quick and straightforward weeknight meal that kids can easily help put together, with minimal prep required.
- Suggestions: Several customers recommended toasting the tortillas in a dry frying pan instead of microwaving for better texture and a light crunch. Adding chilli, coriander, or a drizzle of honey to the slaw helped boost flavour, and some swapped the Greek yoghurt dressing for BBQ mayo or a ranch-style dressing with good results. Using less yoghurt in the slaw also helped the pineapple and jerk spice flavours come through more clearly.
- Leftovers: Most found the meal reheated well the next day, with a few noting the chicken tasted even better for lunch. The pineapple slaw is best enjoyed fresh, as the flavour can turn by the following day.
- Portions: Some customers felt the number of tortillas was insufficient for the amount of filling provided, and a few found the four-person serve on the smaller side for hungrier households.
