Tips:

Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you use chicken breasts, be sure to pound them thin so they cook evenly.
Make sure your jerk seasoning is flavorful. If you don't have your own jerk seasoning, you can purchase a pre-made blend from the store. However, making your own is easy and gives you more control over the flavor.
Don't overcook the chicken. Jerk chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
Use fresh tortillas. Fresh tortillas will make your wraps more flavorful and pliable. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can use store-bought tortillas, but be sure to warm them up before using them.
Load up your wraps. In addition to the jerk chicken, you can add a variety of other toppings to your wraps, such as rice, beans, vegetables, and cheese. Get creative and make your wraps your own!

Conclusion:

Jerk chicken tortilla wraps are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give jerk chicken tortilla wraps a try!
