Servings: 4

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts(pounded thin or cut thin)

For the Vegetables

  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced

  3. Toss the sliced peppers and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  4. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

  5. While the chicken cooks, grill the peppers and onions in a grill basket for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're tender with a little char.

  6. Remove the chicken and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

  7. Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 20-30 seconds per side.

  8. Fill each tortilla with sliced jerk chicken, grilled peppers and onions, a generous drizzle of Chipotle Mayo, and a scoop of fresh guacamole.

  9. Garnish with cilantro and serve with fresh lime wedges.

Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Review: My Honest Thoughts After Months of Cooking

Blackened Shrimp Gochujang Noodles 🛒Check for Today's Price on Amazon Why I Bought It One of the biggest reasons I chose the Tramontina Signature Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set is that it doesn't use a traditional nonstick coating. The cooking surface is simply stainless steel, so there's no coating to scratch, chip, or wear away over time. I wanted a quality stainless steel cookware set without paying All-Clad prices. Since I was starting a food blog and spending much more time in the kitchen, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to upgrade our cookware. Our previous "nonstick" cookware had reached the point where it wasn't nonstick at all. Scrambled eggs were especially frustrating, often sticking to the pan and making cleanup a chore.

Prep time: 3 minutes Servings: 1 (easily multiplied) Ingredients 1.5 oz vodka 0.5 oz fresh lime juice 3 oz fever tree ginger beer Fresh mint sprig (optional garnish) Equipment Copper mugs  Instructions Fill your copper mug or glass with crushed ice. Add the vodka, then the lime juice, and top with ginger beer. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig. Enjoy! Pro Tips for the Best Moscow Mule Use fresh lime juice for the brightest flavor — bottled works in a pinch but isn’t as good. Crushed ice is key for that signature chill and dilution.
