Equipment
- Blackstone Griddle
- Flat Top Grill/ Griddle
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite size pieces
- kosher salt, pepper, Caribbean Jerk seasoning blend (I also used Blackstone Island Stir Fry and Pineapple Sriracha seasonings)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- cooking oil of choice
- 1 (12-ounce) bag tortilla chips
- 2 cups shredded cheese of choice
- 1 (15-ounce) jar queso warm
- 1/2 cup mango salsa
- Optional toppings: diced pineapple, cilantro, more lime wedges, hot sauce, pickled red onions
Instructions
- Put the chicken in a gallon size plastic bag along with kosher salt, pepper, Caribbean seasoning (to taste), garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice. Massage bag until combined and marinate in fridge for at least an hour.
- Preheat griddle to medium heat. Add cooking oil and the seasoned chicken. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, mixing with spatulas a few times. Remove or scoot to side of griddle.
- Lower heat to medium low/low and spread chips on either a baking sheet placed on griddle or spread chips directly on the griddle. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese, drizzle queso over top, add chicken, then remaining shredded cheese. Lower griddle lid or cover with lid or large melting dome until cheese is melted.
- Top with the mango salsa and any additional toppings such as diced pineapple, cilantro, more lime wedges, hot sauce, and/or pickled red onions.
