Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven:
    Conventional oven: 350 °F
    Convection oven: 350 °F
  • Combine jerk seasoning, garlic powder, coriander, paprika, salt, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir well. Set aside for step 4.
  • Place 6 tilapia portions on a half-sheet pan (18” x 13” x 1”) lined with parchment paper and lightly coated with pan-release spray.
  • Sprinkle spices evenly over each piece of tilapia on the pan.
  • Bake:
    Conventional oven: 350 °F for 8-10 minutes.
    Convection oven: 350 °F for 5-8 minutes.
    Critical Control Point:
    Heat to 145 °F or higher.
    Critical Control Point:
    Hold for hot service at 140 °F or higher. Hold hot until step 8.
  • Combine tomatoes, mangoes, pineapple, cilantro, jalapeños, and lime juice in a large bowl. Stir well. Refrigerate and set aside for step 8.
    Critical Control Point:
    Cool to 40 °F or lower within 4 hours.
  • To prevent tortillas from tearing when folding, steam for 3 minutes until warm.
  • Place 1 oz (¼ cup) spinach onto the center of each tortilla. Place 1 ½ oz tilapia on top of spinach. Using a No. 16 scoop, portion ¼ cup of the mango salsa on top of the tilapia. Save remaining salsa for serving on the side.
  • Fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling. Fold in the outside edges so they nearly touch each other. As you roll the burrito forward, use the tips of your fingers to tuck and press the sides into a tight roll.
  • Cut each wrap on a diagonal. Serve immediately.
  • Serve 1 wrap. Using a No. 16 scoop, portion ¼ cup additional fruit salsa on the side.
