Jerk Chicken Wraps


This is another Rachael recipe she got from Pampered Chef. Thanks!!

What you need:
1 T EVOO (I used a little more)
1 T Jamaican Jerk Rub (I used a little more)
1 lb chicken tenders
1 can cubed pineapple
1 red bell pepper
3 green onions (white and light green parts only)
1 can (15 ounce) black beans, drained
6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
2 heads romaine lettuce (you will be using these as your 'wrap' so the bigger the leaf the better for wrapping)
Optional: I added a spicy banana pepper in here as well, we like heat.

For the Dressing:
2 limes
1/3 cup reduced fat mayo
3 T pineapple juice (I used a little more, add to your tasting)

What you need to do:
Whisk EVOO and jerk rub together, dip chx tenders in the rub mixture. I grilled them on my 'indoor' grilling pan (I don't know the official name for this pan) but if you do not have one of those, you could cook it them in a skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until done. Remove chicken. Cook the pineapple in the same pan, for about one minute per side. (Note: the pineapple will pick up the leftover seasoning from the chicken and will darken because of that.) Meanwhile, dice your red bell pepper, green onions (and spicy pepper if you so choose). Set aside. Dressing: Zest one lime and juice both limes. Add in the mayo and mix well. Set aside.

Build your wraps:
Lay out your lettuce wraps and stuff them with your chicken, peppers and onions, pineapple, bacon, black beans, and drizzle with dressing.
