Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. Reserve some juice from the pineapple slices (2 tsp for 2 people / 1 tbs for 4 people), then drain. Drain sweetcorn. • Slice chicken tenderloins, lengthways, into 2cm-thick strips. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic, mild Caribbean jerk seasoning and the salt. Season with pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Add chicken, tossing to coat.
• Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook pineapple slices and corn, tossing, until browned, 3 minutes. • Transfer pineapple to a chopping board. Roughly chop. • In a small bowl, combine pineapple, corn, reserved pineapple juice and a drizzle of vinegar. Season to taste.
TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out.
• Return frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook chicken until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. • When chicken is done, microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.
TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook chicken in batches for the best results!
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Thinly slice long red chilli (if using). • Fill tortillas with deluxe salad mix, Caribbean chicken and pineapple and corn salsa. • Drizzle with garlic aioli and sprinkle with chilli to serve.
