Jerk Chicken Tacos

Yield 8

You can follow the Food Network's instructions or mine. I took my chicken and marinaded refrigerated overnight in half the sauce in a covered dish.

Preheat grill for about 10 to 15 minutes till it is at 425-450 degrees. Direct grilled over medium heat for 9 to 10 minutes each side. The last five minutes I do a final mop of that awesome sauce, because more, in my opinion, is better.

Side note: I am always a chicken when it comes to RAW CHICKEN and still rely on my trusty internal thermometer. The one I have beeps when it's getting close so I can stand down and have a sippy of my BBQ girl drinkie.

Back to BBQ, your chicken needs to register for an internal temp of 165 degrees F. Take off grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

While chicken is resting, you will want to heat up your corn tortillas. Several ways to do this, you can foil wrap five and put on the grill for a few minutes on indirect heat. Or, if you have a flat top searing area on your gas grill like I do you can just gang up four and flip after a couple minutes till soften. I will invert a muffin pan and place each tortilla between the raised muffins to hold shells while I fill them with the shredded chicken. It is only this glamorous for my family. I do break out my fancy skewer skills for my guests.

Feel free to add the Pineapple Mango Relish and whatever fixings you like. I'd have thrown some avocado in the mix if I had it. Enjoy!
