Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup Jamaican jerk marinade, divided
5 tablespoons lime juice, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste
2 cups pressed and cubed extra-firm tofu
cooking spray
2 cups diced jicama
1 cup diced pineapple
2 cups prepared rice
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
8 (8 inch) low-fat flour tortilla
½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup salsa
½ cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/2 cup marinade, 1/4 cup lime juice, garlic, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add tofu, coat with the marinade, squeeze bag to remove air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Drain tofu, discarding marinade.
  • Prepare a large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Cook tofu, turning frequently, until it starts to brown, about 4 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Return skillet to medium-high heat.
  • Cook and stir jicama, pineapple, remaining 1/4 cup marinade, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in the skillet until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Return tofu to the skillet; cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
  • Spoon 1/3 cup tofu mixture evenly down center of each tortilla. Top each with even portions of rice, black beans, and cheese.
  • Fold 2 opposing ends to overlap the edges of the filling. Wrap 1 of the opposing edges of the tortilla over the filling and roll to form a burrito. Top each burrito with salsa and sour cream.

This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The jerk sauce is also a great way to add some flavor to your chicken.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped vegetables to the burrito, which made it even more flavorful.

I'm not sure this is authentic Jamaican jerk chicken. It doesn't taste like the jerk chicken I've had in Jamaica.

I've never made jerk chicken before. This recipe was a great introduction. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the jerk sauce was flavorful without being too spicy.

The jerk sauce is a bit too spicy for my taste. But I still enjoyed the burrito. It's a great recipe for a weeknight meal.

I'm not sure I'd call this a burrito. It's more like a wrap. But whatever you call it, it's delicious.

I love the jerk sauce! It's so flavorful and has the perfect amount of heat. I've used it on chicken, fish, and even vegetables.

I'm not sure about this recipe. I've never tried jerk chicken before, let alone a jerk burrito. I'm not sure what to expect.
