Taco Thursday

On Thursday night I made one of the most unique taco recipes I have ever come across. The mixture of nutmeg, cayenne pepper and various other spices make these tacos amazing. They are definitely a crowd pleaser and even my younger brother likes them. Warning, they are a little spicy, but this spice adds a little interest to this dish. 

• Ingredients:
• 3 teaspoons Jamaican jerk seasoning 
• 3 large chicken breasts, pounded to ½ inch thicknesshttp:
• 2 cups slaw or shredded lettuce (I used red and green cabbage, thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
• 8 taco sized soft tortillas
• lime wedges, for serving

Sauce

⅓ cup mayo

2 teaspoons Jamaican jerk seasoning

Jamaican Jerk Seasoning

• Steps:
• Season chicken breasts with jerk seasoning, rubbing into both sides. Cook over medium heat on the stove for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Slice into strips.
• Whisk together mayo and 2 teaspoons jerk seasoning.
• Assemble tacos. Place slaw/lettuce on each tortilla. Top with chicken, then drizzle with sauce. Top with chopped cilantro. Serve with fresh lime wedges for drizzling on tacos.
