Jerk Chicken Wraps.


With just 3 recipes left in the “party food” theme we have going for November, I thought it was time to do something with bold Caribbean flavors. These jerk chicken wraps are excellent as everyday sandwiches for your family or watch your guests make a dash for the platter when you present these at your holiday gathering. You’ll be astonished at how moist and juicy the jerk chicken will be and with the fresh tropical fruit.. your taste buds will achieve a level of excitement reserved for food your mom makes which you still crave.

You’ll Need…

3 lb chicken breast (boneless)
1 1/2 cups jerk marinade
1 tablespoon veg oil
1 1/2 cups carrots (julienne and blanched)
1 1/2 cups lettuce
1 1/2 cup mango julienne
1 1/2 cup cucumber (ribbons)
1 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
10 inch flour tortillas (about 8-10)

Notes: I used my favorite packaged jerk marinade and suggest you do the same to save time. There’s been many requests since posting the video for this recipe, for the sort of garlic spread I used when putting it together. Directly below this recipe I’ll share that with you and since I don’t have a video for it, I’ll get one posted in the coming weeks.

The first step in making these jerk chicken wraps is to broil the chicken. Wash, drain and pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then pour in the marinade and allow to marinate for at least 1 hr. Set your oven on the broil setting and move the rack so it’s about 6-8 inches away from the main heat source. Line a baking pan with tin foil (easy clean up after) and brush on the oil or you can certainly use cooking spray. Now place the chicken on the tray, pour remaining marinade onto them and broil for 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven, flip over and broil for another 8 minutes. If you’re using thick chicken, broil an additional 4 minutes. Set aside to cool as you prepare the other ingredients.

As the chicken cools, it’s time to prepare the mango, carrots, cucumber and lettuce. With the carrots, you’ll need to bring about 3 cups of water to boil and toss in the julienne carrots into it for 25 seconds. Then place immediately into a bowl with ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. Shred the lettuce (I used iceberg) and make sure the mango is firm and not over-ripe or it will be difficult to julienne .When the chicken is cool, slice into1/4 inch strips and if you have any drippings in the pan you broiled it in, pour it over the sliced chicken and give it a good mix.

It’s all about assembling the jerk chicken wraps now.  Open out one of the flour tortillas, then spread about a teaspoon of the garlic spread across a 1 inch strip across the tortilla.  Now place (across one end) a bit of the chicken, mango, pineapple, lettuce and cucumber ribbons and roll (try to tuck in everything as you roll) tightly. Then slice on a bios in the middle so you have two pieces of jerk chicken wrap. You’ll need toothpicks to hold these together.

If you’re wondering if we need a dipping sauce for this, the answer is no. The flavors of this will be enough to captivate everyone’s appetite on it’s own. You can make these ahead of time, cover with plastic wrap and store in the fridge.

For the garlicky spread you’ll need:

2 (8 ounce) containers plain Greek yogurt
2 cucumbers – peeled, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lemon, juiced
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
3 cloves garlic

Directions: In a food processor or blender, combine yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, dill and garlic. Process until well-combined. Transfer to a separate dish, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour for best flavor.

* you can add a drop or 2 of honey as well if you want.

    One step I would add; wraps or tortillas, at least the ones you buy in the store, are notorious for their doughy texture and raw taste so I would NEVER begin until I had first tossed the wrap in a frying pan or in a toaster oven (never the microwave as that just makes it worse). Then, when the wrap is properly cooked, then, and only then would I begin to layer on the filling ingredients. Anyone else feel the same about wraps/tortillas straight from the package?

    December 4, 2012 / 10:41 am

    Hello Chris and how are you today?? I wanted to just say that since i fell onto your website i have been cooking up a storm. You make recipes sound so easy and not intimidating therefore i am not afraid of trying any of your dishes. My significant other rushes home right from work with a hungry belly and looks forward to a tasty dinner. I already knew how to cook but you have definitely broaden my horizons
    Thank you so much Chris. I am sure you have saved some relationships or marriages, lol

    Be blessed

The same food u know, but it is how it is prepared and how much love we put into preparing it. Like u always say it Is "WICKED" Love that! Greetings from St.Croix Virgin Islands.

    Chris, when I first came across your the Caribbean Cooking Videos on You Tube, I not only subscribed, I had to share with my fellow West Indians and a few of my non West Indian friends alike. I enjoy getting your Caribbean Pot newsletters. I haven’t been to Toronto in a good seven years now, so I especially enjoyed strolling through the markets with you courtesy of You Tube. Keep up the good work!

    And of course, I want to win that Keith Haring Tote. I can remember seeing his murals as a kid and have remembered his unique style ever since.

  207. November 28, 2012 / 5:26 pm

    I love ur recipes and can’t wait to own my own recipe book so I can make it all at least once! Keep it up and keep the recipes coming 🙂

    The Jamaican motto is "Out of many, One People". I know for a fact that it is not only true for us Jamaicans but for the Caribbean. Our cuisine says a lot about our history and the path our ancestors had taken, and despite our ethnic background we have adopt, exchange and invent dishes to suit our taste buds; calling it our own. It is not just our weather, people and our music but our flavours are tropical too…and it tends to bring out the best in us.
