Cooking Steps
ā¢ Finely chop garlic. Reserve some juice from the pineapple slices (2 tsp for 2 people / 1 tbs for 4 people), then drain. Drain sweetcorn. ā¢ Slice chicken tenderloins, lengthways, into 2cm-thick strips. ā¢ 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.
ā¢ Heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook pineapple slices and corn, tossing, until browned, 3 minutes. ā¢ Transfer pineapple to a chopping board. Roughly chop. ā¢ 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.
ā¢ 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. ā¢ 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.
ā¢ Thinly slice long red chilli (if using). ā¢ Fill tortillas with deluxe salad mix, Caribbean chicken and pineapple and corn salsa. ā¢ Drizzle with garlic aioli and sprinkle with chilli to serve.

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour:Ā The Caribbean jerk seasoning and charred pineapple-corn salsa were widely praised for delivering bold, fresh, and well-balanced flavour. Some found the seasoning mild and boosted it with hot sauce, chilli, or lime juice.
- Ease of prep:Ā Most found this a genuinely quick and easy weeknight meal, with simple steps the whole family ā including kids and teenagers ā could help with.
- Suggestions:Ā Adding coriander, lime juice, avocado, or jalapeƱos lifted the flavour for those wanting more zing. Some swapped the garlic aioli for smoky aioli, Greek yoghurt, or sour cream with great results.
- Leftovers:Ā Leftovers reheated well and also worked beautifully as a cold lunch salad the next day.
- Portions:Ā Many felt the chicken and salsa quantities were on the small side, particularly for four people, and several wished for at least one extra tortilla per person.
