The original recipe is for salad, but I made a few modifications and serve it as salsa as it is phenomenal with chips!

One of my favorite things in recent years is jerk chicken nachos, but I ran out of my Jamaican Jerk Rub from Pampered Chef and haven't gotten around to replacing it.  I've tried various replacements for it and this recipe won.
