You could serve this dish up a few different ways. You could treat it like fajitas and serve it with some tortillas, sour cream and fresh made pico de gallo (tomatoes, white onion, jalepeno, cilantro and lime juice)! Or you could go for a “bowl” and serve it over rice. What I decided on was some rice noodles that I tossed in a little mixture of lime juice (1tbsp), cocoa aminos (1/4 cup) and fresh ginger (2 tsp).

Getting them to be adventurous with food is a great way to help them get adventurous in the world. Food is a gateway to different cultures and can really encourage kids to want to know more about different parts of the world. This dish is inspired by Jamaican Cuisine. The marinade has similar flavors to a Jamaican Jerk seasoning blend.
