  2  ts Jerk Seasoning  
  8   Flour tortillas  
  1 1/2  c Black beans, cooked, drained and mashed  
  1  c Light sour cream  
  PAPAYA-PINEAPPLE SALSA  
  3/4  c Ripe papaya, diced

  2. Place chicken in an 8-inch square dish; cover with vented plastic wrap. Micro-wave on medium-high, 7-8 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.

 
  3. Slice chicken into thin strips. Divide black beans, chicken strips, sour cream and salsa between tortillas; fold up one edge to form a pocket and roll to hold filling.

 
  PAPAYA PINEAPPLE SALSA: Combine papaya, pineapple, jicama, red onion, chili pepper, garlic, lime zest, lime juice and cilantro. cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. For best flavor and texture, do not make more than 2 hours before serving.

While the remainder of the recipe SOUNDS as though it may well be a slice of Jamacian style Heaven, I just cannot condon the microwaving of chicken. It destroys the texture, and renders it rather tough. Skillet fried chicken breasts take very little time, and the difference in food quality renders it the choice to take, assuming one has the time. Just a few pennies worth of thought...
