- Marinade the chickenPreheat your oven to 220. Pop the diced chicken into a mixing bowl and add a drizzle of oil, the honey and the jerk seasoning. Continue to season with a good pinch of salt.

Drain and rinse the sweetcorn in a sieve. Lay out the tortillas on a large baking tray in a single layer and drizzle with a little oil. Season with salt then set aside.
- Toast the coconutPut a large frying pan on high heat and add the desiccated coconut. Toast, stirring until golden. Be careful not to burn the coconut, keep stirring for 3-4 minutes then tip into a small bowl.

Notes
Prep the food before turning on the oven, otherwise it will be pre-heating for 10-15 minutes which isn’t necessary for simply warming up the tortillas.
